Volunteer Opportunity - Adults, 16+

Spend a day as part of our trail crew. Assist with trail maintenance needs of Blue Sky trail. Learn what it takes to keep a heavily used trail in good shape for a quality outdoor recreation experience. Volunteers will need to be able to hike 2 or more miles carrying two trail hand tools and supplies for the day. They will be using/swinging tools to move dirt, dig and create drainage features, use loppers/hand saws to remove vegetation, carry/lift rocks, use buckets/wheelbarrows to move material, and/or any other kind of physical labor needed to improve the trail. Meet at the Blue Sky Trailhead at Horsetooth Reservoir. From the intersection of Harmony & Taft, take County Road 38E for 5.5 miles west towards Inlet Bay. The trailhead will be on your right and it is a large dirt parking lot. Volunteers will need to bring: Sun protection (sunglasses, hat, sunscreen) Work gloves (some will be provided) Wear sturdy work/hiking boots Wear long pants as you may be working in tall grass Water & re-fillable water bottle Insect repellant Snacks Clothing appropriate for the weather Backpack (to carry it all) Hand sanitizer (optional) Please bring a lunch, snacks, and water as needed. We will have some water available but it is possible the water at the trailhead may not yet be turned on for the season. We will have some work gloves available, however, if you have your own we recommend you bring them. A parking pass will be provided.
