Shuttle Day Details

TRAIL WORK DAY – Oct 27, 2024 
Hidden Meadows to Cane Creek connector trail

Join 44 Trails for a trail work day at Hidden Meadows Trail (south) #472 in the Boulder Lakes network.

There will be lunch for everyone, thanks to NY City Subs in Hood River.

WHEN: Sunday, October 27th, 9 am

WHERE: Meet at White River East Sno-Park at the intersection of Hwy 35 and FS48.  We will caravan down to the work spot at the end of Hidden Meadows (#472).

SCOPE OF WORK: We are building an extension trail from the south end of Hidden Meadows to connect with Crane Creek Trail to exclude the road. If you haven’t ridden this gem of a network, come get familiar.

With a shortened maintenance season the last few years (late snow melt and early fire restrictions), we recognize that maintenance has piled up and are working on getting as much done as we can before the snow flies so it is a more rideable network next year. FYI, Hidden Meadows is now cleared and rideable.

WHAT: Building an extension trail from Hidden Meadows to connect with Crane Creek.

REQUIRED: Long pants, work boots, gloves, day pack, water, snacks, bike helmet, eye protection. Bring dirt-digging tools if you have ‘em.
