The Colorado Trail Foundation still seeks trail crew volunteers

Online registration for 2023 trail crews opened this week, and the Colorado Trail Foundation needs your help to preserve The Colorado Trail! According to their website:
Volunteer Trail Crews vary in length from one to seven days. We provide training, tools, hardhats, group camp equipment, and leadership. Volunteers are responsible for their own transportation to the crew location and for their personal equipment, including tent or camper, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, dishes and eating utensils, work clothes, and other personal items. Some crews have meals provided, and those are noted below. Crews typically involve a hike to the project site each day, and basecamp crews may require a drive and a hike each day if the campsite is not within reasonable hiking distance of the project site. Crews can be accessed by a 2WD vehicle unless otherwise noted.
The Colorado Trail Foundation crews are already 98% full for 2024. However, there are still several spots open between July and September.
