31 volunteers gathered in the fog on Sunday morning (June 23rd) to clear brush that has grown into the beloved Ape Canyon Trail.
A couple of hikers joined a large contingency from Growlers Gulch Racing & NWTA ready to work. We split into 4 groups that were positioned in key spots along the trail. Each of these groups then worked towards each other to get the job done.
With the number of hands we had working, we were able to complete all of the work needed to clear the trail in 4 hours.
After the work was done the group gathered a few miles from the trailhead for post work party food & beverages.
Big thanks to event sponsors Patagonia Portland Retail Store, Lagunitas Brewing , Brew Dr. Kombucha & Clif Bar
