Project Description

At this volunteer event we will work on logging out the Gold Creek Trail segment of the PNT on the scenic Olympic National Forest!

This winter was hard on the much-loved trails across the peninsula and Gold Creek is an essential section of the PNT as hikers climb from the Hood Canal towards the Buckhorn Wilderness. We’ll be using crosscut and hand saws to clear the logs and cutting back any of the fast growing vegetation that tries to impede hikers and riders.

We will meet at the Tubal Cain Trailhead at 9:00am, have a quick safety chat and then work our way north improving the trail, working until mid-afternoon.

This event is great for both seasoned trail stewards and folks with minimal experience!
