Join us this year in the Mt Moriah Wilderness as we take on Horse Canyon! This is your chance to be part of a hands-on effort to restore a beautiful backcountry trail and make it safer and more enjoyable for everyone who visits.
We’ll be rolling up our sleeves and getting to work—clearing overgrown brush, removing downed trees, rebuilding sections of trail, and possibly building features like rock steps, retaining walls, and armored drainages. Whether you’re new to trail work or have experience, there’s a role for you on this project. We’ll share more details about trail conditions after our spring scouting trip.
Trail work isn’t just hard work—it’s meaningful work. By improving and maintaining this trail, you’ll help protect the surrounding landscape, reduce impacts to fragile ecosystems, and create a durable path for future visitors. You’ll leave with new skills, a strong sense of accomplishment, and a direct connection to the land you helped care for.
Come be part of this rewarding trip, we’d love to have you out there with us.
