SUMMARY:Lowlands of Flagstaff Volunteering
DESCRIPTION:Lowlands of Flag Trail Work\nJoin us to do some trail maintenance on Passage 32 between Walnut Canyon & Elden. \nHere are the details:\nWe’ll hike in ~2.5 miles with tools & take care of some brushing\, tread work\, & drains. This section of trail winds through junipers\, pine trees\, & features some fun little rock features. There isn’t a lot of elevation gain\, but we will be at ~6500 ft. Make sure you bring water\, sunscreen\, electrolytes\, & layers. Camping remains banned in this area\, but there places just outside of the Flagstaff mountains off of Lake Mary road\, past the peaks\, & north off of 89. \nTrail work will include:\nBrushing\nTreadwork\nDrainage Work \nDifficulty Rating:\nModerate: Accessible to first time volunteers but challenging in terms of access and/or intensity of work. Often this means either the hike in may be hard\, but the work is relatively easy or the reverse but not both being hard. \nMeeting Location:\nCosnino Rd just before RR crossing\, park on BNSF road
