Working Trails for Tickets
Tim Adams from Teton Valley Trails and Pathways sent us a wrap up of the first trail work day on Mahogany Creek.
Not only did volunteers get a great workout and rack up excellent outdoor recreation karma and improve one of the valley’s most popular trails - they received a free 2010/11 winter season lift ticket from the ‘ghee! Want in? Read about additional volunteer opportunities here.
Over 35 people donated nearly 250 hours working on the Mahogany Creek Trail during the first of Teton Valley Trails and Pathways trail work days for summer 2010. The Teton Basin Ranger District had 6 trail staff on site to oversee the project. This trail is a multi-use trial for horses, hikers, mountain bikers and single track motorbike users. We were working on rerouting a very steep section that was seeing increasing erosion and becoming unusable to all trail users. The trail will now use switchbacks and sustainable trail building techniques to assure it will be there for a long time and provide a better experience for all users. Thanks to Habitat for hosting the apres trail work dinner party, and to Wildlife Brewing for the beer!
