Great trail construction opportunity for hikers, bikers and walkers to help improve the infrastructure you use! Volunteers will gather for 2 days of energetic trail work at this popular gateway to wilderness, just about an hour's drive from life on the front range. Build new trail and also naturalize old trails.
Camp at 10,000 ft. in a great location (meals and camping provided for free!) and help build an important connector trail in this widely used system. No experience is necessary - trained crew leaders will supervise and teach you what you need to know. Tools are provided, but bring your own camping gear.

Description
WRV organizes about 110 projects per year, completing a wide variety of important habitat restoration and conservation work in around the Northern Colorado Front Range.
