The 11th Annual Pete Sorini CDT Trail Logout/Stewardship Day will be held on the Continental Divide Trail on Saturday, June 6.

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 8:30 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. Volunteers are asked to register ahead of time for an accurate food count.

Gina Evans, a group organizer, said this year’s event will include more downed trees than in recent years because of the weather over the past few months.

“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.”
