REI donated the funds for a 1.7 mile re-route of the Arizona National Scenic Trail in Oracle State Park. This new route takes the Arizona Trail off an adverse, rocky road previously utilized by the Arizona Trail. Our SaddleBrooke Hiking Club is responsible for the maintenance of the eight-plus mile Oracle Passage of the Arizona Trail. Nine SaddleBrooke hikers participated in an REI sponsored work event to finish the newly cut trail. The SaddleBrooke hikers joined about 50 other REI volunteers in a significant work effort.
You are invited to join SaddleBrooke hikers on November 16 for the next Work Session on the Arizona Trail. Volunteers will leave the MountainView parking lot at 7:30 a.m. for three hours of satisfying trail work. Volunteers will continue to trim back the summer overgrowth and clear/create water diversion bars. For more information and/or to sign up call Elisabeth Wheeler at 818-1547, elisarick@wbhsi, or Mary Croft at 651-270-1660, [email protected].
