Salida Mountain Trails needs volunteers on Sunday

We’re trying to get a group to come out to the Little Rainbow Sunday morning from 9 – 12 to so some more finish work.  We’ll meet where the trail crosses 108, which is about 1/4 mile before you get to the powerline.  Just park on the side of the road.  Please bring a heavy duty garden rake if you have one, and gloves.  We’ll also bring some McClouds.  Costumes optional!
This is on Methodist Mountain, and would be a great “first experience” building trail, in part because it will be less technical by the nature of the terrain. This section, because of it’s width, will be a great community trail for so many purposes, and represents a huge effort of the south side of the valley.
The kids in the photo are looking across town at the section we will be working on.

The Citizen is happy to provide a forum for comments and discussion. Please respect and abide by the house rules: Keep it clean, keep it civil, keep it truthful, stay on topic, be responsible, share your knowledge, and please suggest removal of comments that violate these standards. Real names are appreciated, but not required.

  1. Where does the Little Rainbow trail start and what will the length of the trail be when completed . Happy Trails .

    1. The L. Rainbow Tr. starts at CR 110 and heads east across CR 108 then ends near Castle Gardens at Dead Bird and Racetrack trails. The distance is about 5 miles.
