You’re invited to join Trails 2000 for their spring membership event to kick off the 2018 trail season: our annual Trails and Ales Party, on Wednesday, April 11, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Carver Brewing Company. Come meet and mingle with trail enthusiasts, learn more about how to get involved with Trails 2000, and give back to the trails in Durango. Sponsored by First National Bank, the event features trail swag giveaways, a delicious spread of chili and salad, and a beer, glass of wine or root beer from Carvers to anyone who joins, renews or gives to Trails 2000.
Proceeds from the Trails and Ales Party directly support Trails 2000’s mission to plan, build and maintain Durango’s trail network, educate trail users, and encourage connectivity on road, path, and trail. With over 300 miles of trails within 30 minutes of downtown, Durango is a trail mecca! Partnering with the City, County, Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and private landowners, Trails 2000 and our cadre of volunteers contribute over 3,500 hours of trailwork on these lands.
Stay tuned! Save the date for our 2018 trailwork season Trailwork Kickoff Party on Wednesday, April 18. All weekend warriors, trail blazers, wanderers and trail lovers alike are invited to come out for a fun work day to kick off the 2018 trail season; details and volunteer sign up to be announced.
Trails 2000 hosts over 30 public trailwork parties on Wednesdays and other scheduled days throughout the trail season, including the annual Colorado Trail (CT) Work Weekend in mid-June 2018. The fun-filled camping weekend includes work on Trails 2000’s adopted section of the CT, sections 28.2 and 28.3 from Champion Venture to Junction Creek, totaling 19.1 miles and the longest adopted section in the state. Trails 2000 will also host a work day and celebration on Saturday, September 29, in recognition of National Public Lands Day.
No experience is necessary to volunteer at trailwork, and Trails 2000 provides the necessary instruction and safety tool talk, all tools, gloves, and water and snacks for the entire crew. For more information on upcoming trail events, please visit our Trail Calendar.
Happy Trails!
