Get lost, at no cost, in the beauty of the Lost Creek Wilderness Area as you help repair a trail.
About the Stewardship Site:
The Wigwam Trail resides in the 120,000-acre Lost Creek Wilderness Area, a popular site 60 miles southwest of Denver that feels miles and miles from civilization. The Wigwam Trail is mainly used for hiking through the area's aspen groves, sun-drenched meadows and beaver ponds.
About the Volunteer Experience:
Volunteers will help with maintenance tasks around stream crossings on the Wigwam Trail, including the installation of a small bridge using materials harvested on-site. Other tasks may include basic trail tread, corridor and drainage structure maintenance, and rock work to create erosion control structures. This project is perfect for those who don't want to travel far from the Front Range, but would still enjoy getting "lost" in the wilderness!
About the Overall Impact:
The U.S. Forest Service district that manages the Lost Creek Wilderness is limited in the resources they can commit to trail maintenance, and often volunteer projects are the only means for damaged trails to be restored or maintained. The restoration performed on this project will help ensure the Wigwam Trail's usability for the long term.
