Kuskanax Mountain Erosion Repair Aug 20 & 21.25
A 4 member Recreation Sites and Trails crew lead by Cory J and his team of students joined Graham F and Bob T for a couple of days of setting cedar step blocks on steep and eroded sections of the lower Kuskanax Mountain South Trail. Everyone worked hard and anchored, backfilled and graded 29 blocks over a km or so of trail. The RSTBC crew last year set almost 50 blocks in the section above between the first and second viewpoints. We went back and repaired some of the installs from last year and generally graded and repaired the trail as best we could in the time we had. Graham also removed a tricky deadfall that was blocking the trail. This first 2 km of the trail switchbacks up the steep sandy flank of the mountain on the way to the radio tower and summit ridge line. It will require repair and upgrades every year.
