See all- 8/17: National Forest Trail Day (Bridge and Braleys)Needs location
Trail Volunteer Day – Sunday, August 17
What:
Help us give some love to two of our favorite National Forest rides – Bridge Hollow and Braley Pond trails. We’ll be clearing brush, improving drainage, and making sure these backcountry gems are in top shape for all riders, hikers, and equestrians. No prior trail work experience needed — just bring your energy and a willingness to get a little dirty.Where:
Meet at Mountain House Picnic Area (George Washington National Forest). We’ll carpool/caravan from there to the work sites.When:
📅 Sunday, August 17
⏰ Meet at 8:00 AM sharp . You could meet us on trail later if you like.Why:
Without regular upkeep, they become overgrown, eroded, and harder to enjoy. Your few hours of work help keep them rideable and beautiful for everyone — and you’ll get that sweet satisfaction of riding a trail you helped maintain.How:
- Bring water, snacks, sturdy shoes, and work gloves if you have them.
- We’ll provide tools and guidance.
- Expect a mix of hiking and working along the trail.
- Plan for variable weather — it’s August in the mountains but likely HOT!
🌲 Bonus: Fresh mountain air, good company, and the chance to explore trails you might not have seen in a while.
