On behalf of the Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs and Routt County Riders, we are organizing various community work days every week, including:

 

Wednesday  - Thursday - Saturday - Sunday

Rotary trail is a new trail located on BLM land that was acquired through the Emerald Mountain Partnership.  We urge you to come out and work on this fantastic new community project.  We have a variety of work times that you can volunteer for and we ask that you call or email before coming out.  A link to some information on the trail can be found here:  www.steamboatrotary.com.  All relevant information is below:

Directions:

To get to Rotary Trail, you take 20 Mile Road approximately 5.5 miles west of the James Brown Bridge and then take a left on Cow Creek Road.  Drive 1.0 mile on Cow Creek Road and there are two parking areas on the left hand side within 300 yards of each other. The first small parking area is signified by a green gate.  We will meet at the larger second parking area which is only 200 feet down the road on the left.  If you drive for more than 30 seconds past the first green gate, you have gone too far.

Bring:

Sunscreen

Bug spray

Big ol’ shade hat

Work gloves

Water – a camelback is a great idea

Good boots/shoes to work in and walk in.  You may walk a few miles depending on the day.

We do have plenty of tools, but if you have access to any of the following, please bring it with you:

• Rakes – heavy duty steel rake
• Pick Axes
• Pulaskis
• McLeods (if you don’t know what a Pulaski or McLeod is – chances are you don’t have one)

We will be doing trail work throughout the day and ask that you call or email before you come out so that we can most efficiently manage this day.  If someone isn’t at the trailhead when you arrive we will attempt to leave a map displaying where we are working on that day.

 We plan to have weekend workdays throughout the next month.
