Come help polish up the rugged Copper Pass trail as it climbs into the alpine above the Bridge Creek. Our goal is to restore this trail to make another appealing option for excursions along the SR-20 corridor. This section of the trail is within the footprint of the 2023 Blue Lake fire, so expect to get a bit sooty and don’t wear your finest gear on this work party. Our goal will be to rehabilitate the tread surface through the burn to keep trail users following the same path. The primary focus of these work parties will be tread repair. Expect a 3-5 mile round-trip hike, depending on the work location, and a steep climb.
We will meet at the Bridge Creek Trailhead at 9:00 each morning, and aim to return to the cars by 2:30 pm at the latest. Reach out if you would like to coordinate a carpool from Winthrop. Join us for one day, or volunteer for multiple days on this trail restoration project.
MVTC will provide tools, personal protective equipment, training, and light refreshments afterward.
Please bring water, sturdy, close-toed shoes, lunch, and wear an outfit you do not mind getting dirty.
All are welcome! Please join us if you are able.
