Trail Projects Completed August 1- September 1, 2022:
- Key to the longevity and sustainability of any trail network, trail rehabilitation is always ongoing. August saw the crew on Ozias, Hog Back, Piggy Back, River Run, NewT, and Bear Back improving drainages, reshaping berms & benches, and repairing bridges.
- Continuing to take our direction from our
Capacity study that advised new expansion into the Lyndonville area, the construction of a 3 mile loop around Kingdom Campground will be ongoing til completion next summer. This trail will be a combination hand and machine build.
- Moriah's Ascent .6 mile climbing trail is dedicated and opened. Click through for the full story on this beautiful trail and it's namesake.
- Pete's Dragon in O'Reilly's Backyard opened. An excavated blue square trail with a few black diamond features found off of Lou Lou's, this addition gives riders yet another opportunity to progress their skills to the next level with big berms, smooth rollers, and optional jumps lines. Thank you to the Wildflower Inn for generously providing their land and the trail crew for making the trails. Enjoy!
