The 10th Annual Pete Sorini CDT Trail Logout/Stewardship Day will be held on the Continental Divide Trail on June 7.

The purpose of the event, which is named after the late friend and respected neurosurgeon, is to ready the trail for the hiking and biking season.

Volunteers are asked to meet at the Highlands Camp at 9 a.m. and plan to be back at the trailhead around 4:30 p.m. Also, people are asked to dress safely with closed-toed shoes, long pants, bug spray and sunscreen.
A group barbecue, featuring Rick Douglas will follow the trail work.

Gina Evans, a group organizer, said that this year’s event will feature fewer Forest Service employees because of the Trump administration budge guts. The Continental Divide Trail Coalition is also is also partially supported by government funding.

“We will need a solid, motivated group of volunteers to assist throughout the day,” Evans said. “This nonprofit has a responsibility to take care of all 3,100 miles of trail.”

Volunteers are asked to sign up by June 1 to be included in the food count. Click here to register.
