Trail contractors are starting work at Thurston Hills Natural Area once more, beginning with a gravel multi-use hiker trail from Quartz Park up into the hills. The trails won’t be ready for use until later this fall, and we’ll have more information as we prepare to open them up. What this means for you: Note that while vehicles aren’t normally permitted on the haul road, there will be trucks scheduled to deliver gravel to the work site over the next few weeks. Be observant and stay tuned!

Creative Trail Designs is back at Whypass for the next few weeks. We plan to rebuild a few turns at the south end of Alpha then continue on Your Sister with the machine build. Current plan is two volunteers needed/day/shift starting 9/30 through 10/6. If you are available to assist, please email [email protected] and provide what days you can help, including your preference for morning or afternoon shift. I will do my best to schedule the volunteer support. The build crew has requested all volunteers be vaxxed. Thanks.
