About the event
The focus of this maintenance will be to remove large rocks from the trail. It is believed that an individual placed the rocks on the trail to impede motorized vehicles from accessing the trail. While the intent was noble the rocks are creating a safety hazard. The State Park and the Combined Search and Rescue (COMSAR) have encountered issues going up the mountain due to these rocks. In addition the rocks are a hazard to mountain bikers riding this section.
This will be a strenuous trail day requiring a great deal of manual labor hauling the rocks down hill off the trail. The BMBA will provide heavy duty wagons and a rock hauling net to transport the rocks downhill. The rocks will have to be lifted into the wagons for transport, rolled downhill, and then dumped off trail.
Groups will hike or ride to the sites starting at 7:00 a.m.…
