New trail approved for East Eagle!

Volunteers Needed

New East Eagle Trail Approved and Ready to Build!

Thanks to the volunteer and financial support of HTC members, the Town of Eagle, and the BLM, the following has been funded and completed:
1. Botany study to make sure the new trail steers clear of Penstemon
2. Archaeology study including consultation with Eastern Ute Native American tribe
3. Flagging of the trail following requirements from #1 and #2 above

What’s next?

HTC and VVMTA are partnering to build this new trail. This week there will be a Mini-X clearing sage on the trail corridor. As soon as that is complete we'll need volunteers to finish the job with hand tools.

Saturday, October 26 11:00 am – 3:00pm

Please sign up here so we know how many people to expect.

IF dry, you can ride up. We can also carpool up Bellyache Road, meet at 10:30 at the parking lot on the corner of Bluff & Mill. Please let us know if you want to drive or be a passenger and we'll try to put together groups.

Trail building tools will be provided. Please bring water and your own work gloves. Wear long pants and sturdy shoes. We'll have some snacks on site and beer and food after each work day.

Note: All trail work is weather dependent. If it's muddy and we can't get to the work site without causing trail damage work days will be postponed.

Thanks to everyone who have helped make this trail a reality!
