Gold Hill Chewelah - Saturday trail work party - 9AM start
Come see why Gold Hill near Chewelah is becoming Eastern Washington's newest mountain biking destination and help get our trails into peak riding shape for spring and summer!
We'll be honing two new flow trails (we had an excavator on site in April) as well as generally getting the existing trails in shape for the upcoming riding season.
Background on Gold Hill Community Forest - Gold Hill is a 400 acre community forest recently acquired by the Chewelah Valley Land Trust (CVLT) located just north of Chewelah (the north side of the Golf & Country Club) in Stevens County. Trails have been in development for about five years and have reached critical mass--which means you can ride for miles and rack up a bunch of climing and descending without riding the same trails twice. Work parties this year will include everything from brushing, digging, raking to finishing a couple brand new trails.
CVLT & Evergreen will have some tools on-site to get this job done—but if you have a favorite trail-building tool (e.g. shovel, rake, Rogue hoe, McCleod, loppers, or similar), please bring those along. Gloves, sturdy shoes/boots and safety/sun glasses strongly recommended.
Logistics:
- When: Meet at 9:00 AM - stay for an hour or two--or longer if you like.
- Where to meet: The Gold Hill/Chewelah Community Forest parking lot ( https://goo.gl/maps/ZFViFhjrTeLRqFV3A) near the Chewelah golf course.
- What you should bring: Work gloves, eye protection, sturdy footwear, and your favorite trail-building tool l if you have one (don't forget sunscreen and water!)
We look forward to seeing you!
