Trails Hiked

This outing was part of a WTA trail work party!

This was my third WTA work party. Even though it was raining throughout, we still had fun. I can proudly say that I have worked on a few areas of this amazing trail. 
 
This is a hiker only trail. A part of this trail is getting rerouted. The new trail will soon be completed in a few days and will be ready for hikers to enjoy. 
Improvements on the two lower sections of the trail have been completed. 
 
So much effort goes into all of this. If you get a chance, come volunteer with WTA and even better if you can bring some of your friends. A friend of mine joined me today.
  
Thank you to all the WTA heroes who have devoted countless hours into making the trails so accessible and safe for us all. So grateful for all your hard work!

Candy calories during the WTA party don't count :P :P
