rolling creek bridge PROJECT
|
We will be replacing a bridge that crosses Rolling Creek. There will be Volunteers going in on Friday (23rd) to do prep work - cut logs, peel bark, clear debris from the bridge location, etc. Saturday we will complete the construction. Location; The project site is about 2 miles in from the trail head. There are some hills, but not a lot of elevation gain. To get to the trail head get on 285 toward Bailey. At the bottom of the long hill into Bailey, turn left on Park County 68 (Forest Service Road 560). Drive east 8 miles to a small parking area on the south (right) side of the road. A sign at the parking area identifies this point as the crossing of the Colorado Trail and access to the Rolling Creek Trail. Immediately off the road is a parking area. You can also drive further back, if your vehicle has decent ground clearance, to another parking area. Rolling Creek trail is to the left at the far end of this parking area, as you drive in. Special notes; It's your option when you want to come in. Andrew Nies will be camping out near the work site Friday Night. If you're interested in coming in on Friday, or coming in Saturday morning, you should find someone there. We're planning on going in around 9 or 10 am Friday What you'll need; Lunch, water, rain gear, Personal first aid kit.....All the stuff you take on a day hike. Also, bring work gloves, safety glasses, dry socks, hard hats will be provided. |
