Frank K, Bob T and his partner Corinne installed new Trailhead signs with update maps and information at the Lower and Upper Parking Lots.

Saddle Mountain Trail Maintenance August 10
Jamie D and his partner Ida, Michele N and her son Ryan, and Bob T spent a long but enjoyable day clearing deadfall, brushing and grooming the Saddle Mountain Lookout Trail from the upper parking lot to the summit. They also swept and cleaned the lookout building and outhouse. The trail and amenities are in great shape for hikers to enjoy!

Kimbol Lake Trail Cleanup July 31
Frank K, Jamie D and Bob T headed up the Kimbol Lake trail on July 31 for a good day of clearing deadfall, light brushing, and trail grooming. The trail is now in tip top shape and ready for hikers to enjoy the cool shade of the woods along the way, including some old growth cedar near the lake. Take your time and linger at the stream crossings, a log bench overlooking a gulley, or have a picnic at one the old, legacy log tables along the way.
Cedar Grove Signs July 27
Barb C, Michele N and Bob T replaced one Cedar Grove access direction sign at a junction, and erected a new one along the Kuskanax FSR just past the caribou calving pen on July 27. It was stony, tough digging, but the team prevailed and put up three new posts, level and true. Hikers should be able to find the trail now! Good work!
