The SMT volunteer trail work day (ShinDig) for January is cancelled due to the amount of mud and snow on our trails. We will resume our monthly trail work days as soon as conditions and weather permit. You can also check the SMT website http://salidamountaintrails.org/ for updates.
Hayden gets to spend a day fly fishing on the Mohaka River, in the central North island of New Zealand.
The ShinDig for October will be another collaborative effort with the US Forest Service. We will be working on problem areas of the Silver Creek trail, one of the connectors that descends from the Rainbow Trail.
As the water level drops, and fall takes hold in the valley, we float Browns Canyon on last time.
The ShinDig for September will tackle the many rocks that have magically risen to the surface of the Little Rainbow trail on the east side of CR108.
It’s been awhile since I hit the river, and a little rustiness was on display…
ShinDig is back after a month-long hiatus. For August we are going to finish working on the new beginner trail system on the Arkansas Hills Open Space (AHOS).
A community meeting held last night drew over 45 people to discuss the opportunities presented by Salida School’s new 4-day school week. Citizens gathered to share ideas, resources, and information aimed at providing worthwhile activities on Friday’s for our school-aged youth.
With the rivers and streams running high, we head south to go carping in the San Luis Lakes.
It’s been a funny old spring on the Arkansas River, but the fishing has still been great fun.
There is nothing quite like a day spent on a river, messing about in boats.
Weather permitting, SMT is scheduling the April Volunteer ShinDig to do trail maintenance on the Little Rainbow Trail.
Good morning, Salida!
