So much gratitude for the dedication, teamwork and service of these Trail Champions, who overcame inclement weather conditions to make the trails safer, while focusing on ecological preservation.
Great teamwork to move trail-sourced materials in place for stone pitching work.
Water knicks and stone pitching work, supported by outsloped tread, efficiently sheet surface water off of tread, focusing on safety and preservation.
Mother Nature previously had reclaimed upper portion, turning tread into glorified game trail sporting tread width of less than 16 inches.
Middle section now sports a safer tread width and with proper 5% outslope to more effectively sheet surface water.
Dirt was chopped and cast to establish safety-focused 36-inch wide tread, while ensuring grass and wildflower habitat not negatively impacted.
Using proven techniques, more than 20 hours of human toil and teamwork contributed to the construction of this armored drain swale.
A lot of sawyer work and poison oak cutback (thank you to the brave Trail Champions of aptly-named Crew B) restored sunlight to this enchanted forest’s once-impenetrable canopy.
Rolling away … the tread invites the trail user to continue exploring on the horizon. The outslope is chock full of grasses and wildflowers.
Dreamy trail’s tread looks firm, and the outslope is already full of grass and wildflowers in bloom.
Stone pitching work has significantly reduced seasonal wetland risk.
Smooth, 5% outsloped tread is on full display. Grass and wildflower restoration is fully underway. Armored creek crossing looks beautiful and built-to-last.
Both finished trail tread and the outslope’s grassland restoration look to be in really good shape.
Hardened trail tread firmly in place. Outslope is exhibiting signs of grass and wildflower restoration fully underway.
All trail work focused on providing trail users' safe passage, including better sight-lines, while establishing more effective surface water sheeting capabilities.
This grueling trail work helped widen the tread to improve sight-lines for trail user safety, while re-establishing more effective surface water sheeting capabilities.
Widened tread width to 36-inches for trail users’ safe passage and also reset outsloped tread to 5% grade for more effective surface water sheeting.
Repaired and enhanced trail tread for water sheeting and also trail user safety.
Repaired and widened tread. Re-established 5% outsloped tread to sheet surface water, reducing erosion or rutting risk.
Major trail repairs and enhancements made, including water knick and grade reversal construction for sheeting surface water with a focus on safety and ecological preservation.
Drone Operator is licensed and has permission to film in State Park. Better yet, less than three months after trail work, grass and wildflowers are returning.

49 Volunteers braved an atmospheric river to repair and enhance this trail for all park visitors.
Trails stewardship and determination overcome cold, rain and mud.
Filled sinkhole with layers of boulders and gravel. Installed 2 water knicks and 1 grade reversal.
