Several trails and locations have been named. See the attached map for more information.
The Trails Committee has had a very busy spring, summer and fall. The Committee and many volunteers were able to accomplish a lot; and more work awaits us in the spring. If you’d like to help with the continued work to prep the outdoor recreation areas, please be sure to complete the Prospective Volunteer Profile this winter so you’re ready to join the group when the weather warms up in 2012. The Trails Commitee has developed a detailed map (PDF).
The Committee has provided the latest updates from early November:
-
The “Red Trail” is finished. No other trails have been started as of late October.
- Three sites for Amphitheater/Fire Pits have been chosen. These are identified as AmThtr1, 2, 3 on the PDF map. There is also an alternative site for Amphitheater 3 which is AT3_Alt on the PDF map.
- Challenge course. The potential site for this is “Challenge” on the PDF map. A design team is working on the details for the challenge course. Volunteers will be needed to start construction and then installation in 2012.
- Cans cleanup. There are two sites where there are a number of old cans, etc that will be cleaned up. On the PDF map they are “Cans” at latitude 44.1072 longitude -103.30844, and “Cans2″ at latitude 44.10935 longitude -103.3094. A group volunteered to clean up one area of “cans.”
- A potential site for solitude/meditation and a path to the site from the amphitheater 3 location have also been identified. The path would probably remain as a rustic undeveloped trail.
- Access Trail. The trail committee has flagged a potential access trail to the “Red Trail”. Also a spot for a trailhead at the beginning of the access trail has also been identified.
Red Trail - for a more complete view of the hiking trails see the PDF map (linked above).
