This Saturday is National Trail Day. A day where trail advocacy groups across the country pick up their pulaskis and dig on the sweetest single track that the U.S. has to offer. We'll be hosting ours in Lakes Basin, finishing some work we started up there last summer. We will be dividing our forces, focusing on the Mt Elwell re-rout, the Smith Lake trail, the Bear Lakes loop, and the Graeagle Creek trail.

The Plans

• Meet at the Smith Lake/Long Lake trailhead next to the Grayeagle Lodge in Lakes Basin.
• Orientation/Sign up/Lunch Packing between 9-9:30am
• Lunch fixings will be provided for you to pack in the morning
• Expect to be out for about 5 or 6 hours, before the prospect of cold beer and more food lures everyone back to the trailhead.
• BBQ provided at end of Trail Daze

Bring

• backpack
• layers
• hat/sunglasses
• work gloves
• sunscreen
• bug spray (it's the snow melt time of year)
