Just over a year ago, your beloved Eldorado Canyon looked like this:



Thanks to park volunteers, staff, and contractors, pretty much everything is open again. IMHO, if you rank front range public lands by amount of flood damage, staff size, funding, and resources, Eldorado Canyon State Park got sh*t DONE this year.

There's still plenty to be done. If you're interested in seeing what kind of trail and stewardship volunteer opportunities there are for 2015, meeting some similarly eldo-afflicted individuals, and going for a solid hike to wrap it up, please join for an orientation meeting on
  • December 6th, 9:00am
or
  • December 10th, 9:00am

Kudos to everybody involved for getting this park up and running again, and hope to see you in December.

Shameless bump.

If you'd like to see what Eldo trail volunteering is all about, please join. There will be coffee and such, a tiny slide show, and we'll hike up to the next big project site.

Just about the easiest volunteer hours you'll ever log:

Registered for Saturday. I have procrastinated long enough to not give back to the park. Mike and the trail crews have done a great job keeping Eldo awesome.

Hey -

Minor improvement of plans for tomorrow. We'll meet at the garage (103 Eldorado Springs Drive). Still at 9am, coffee and Lamar's donuts still provided.

But here's where it gets good: We'll do a big loop and hike all of the trails that were repaired this year. I'll have "before" photos so we can look at what was done and why.

As a bonus: I'll have a folder of photos of the original work on the Bastille Descent trail. We'll amble up that trail and see the work Bill R. and the crew did in the day - it's pretty impressive.

Bastille trail crew #1.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
