Got outside for National Trails Day with WTA on the Little Ranger Peak trail. We parked at the Skookum Flats trail head across the street and walked over to catch the trail. Once you cross highway 410, go up the narrow path to meet the actual trail. From here we headed to the right and headed up the trail.
The three groups of us worked on a short section of trail. Two groups placed crib walls to help reinforce two different switch backs, while another group helped reinforce the trail where people have cut switchbacks.
The group I was working with used all rocks for our crib wall and helped bring the trail back to the proper width.
Not many people on the trail today, and there are a few wildflowers blooming. There is once section of trail after the first switch back after getting on the main trail with YEW trees! So awesome to see a cluster of them.
Come out an join us on the trails sometime www.wta.org/volunteer
Until then Happy Trails

Thanks for your service!!
The plant might be Western (or Merten's) Coral Root. At this stage, I call it red asparagus.
Has the last mile of this trail, with the severe ground and root burn, been written off? It didn't seem salvageable from what I saw (same with the last mile of Snoquera Palisades).
