National Trails Day-Legacy Trail Construction at Gateway Mesa Open Space

Join VOC for our fourth year building the Legacy Trail and spend National Trails Day among conifer forest, ferns, mosses, and interesting rock formations! On this moderately sized project of about 40 volunteers, you’ll break ground on the remaining section of this new hiking trail, connecting VOC’s previous work to the existing Chuck’s Loop Trail on the eastern edge of the property. Work will be moderate to difficult in nature and likely include bench cuts, timber or stone steps, and several small crossings of narrow drainages.
