Volunteer Event - Mount Spokane - Trail Maintenance
Join us Thursday, July 24th from 9:30AM-2:30PM for trail maintenance to Horse Mountain near Quartz Mountain. We will use brushcutters, pole saws, loppers, and handsaws to cut back encroaching vegetation. Near the summit of Horse Mountain, we will use hand tools (Hoes, McCleod, Pulaski's) to even the tread surface. And if we are lucky, huckleberries will be ready!
