Trail Brushing – Lookout #450 and Cooks Meadow #639
Big thanks to the crew who helped brush Lookout trail #450 and Cooks Meadow trail #639 last week! And thanks to New York City Sub Shop in Hood River for lunch!
The 44 Trail System is in great shape right now. There are a few new trees across 15-Mile between the Cedar Creek trail crossings, but nothing you can’t hop over. Enjoy!
