    Triad Ridge Adopt -a- Trail Workday

    4-Mile Area, Buena Vista, CO

    Saturday May 24 8:30 am


    Monday June 16th 8:30 am



    HTA is a Multi-trail user alliance dedicated to cooperating on multi-user trail projects in the Headwaters region of the Rocky Mountains. HTA was founded by Derrick Nehrenberg of Juicy Trails and Mike Brown of Exit Tours M/C in the Spring of 2013 to test the feasibility of a Multi-user alliance to work on trails with the USFS and BLM. The whole HTA concept came about from a suggestion by a Local Ranger who is a trail enthusiast.

    2013 Greens Creek HTA Workday

    2013 Greens Creek Workday

    Exit Tours M/C, the Headwaters Trails Alliance (HTA) and Tom Dillion and his crew worked with the United States Forest Service (USFS) on Greens Creek in late June of 2013 on a mutually beneficial project.

    We all worked together near the top of Greens Creek on erosion control to keep snow melt from running down the trail. And we re-built what is named ‘Creeky Corner’. The HTA arranged for beers, BBQ and Breakfast Saturday morning, and everybody got dirty and had a pretty good time without riding.

    Triad Ridge Adopt -a-trail

    Also in 2013 Club VP Sean Barr signed for the Club to Adopt Triad Ridge in the 4-Mile Area of the National Forest south-east of Buena Vista. Triad Ridge is a looping singletrack trail to the east side of Chinaman’s Gulch and Carnage Canyon. Triad Ridge was originally pushed for by Board Member Dudley Fecht.

    The US Forest Service Adopt-a-trail program was one of the reasons for creating Exit Tours M/C. Individuals cannot adopt trails with the USFS.

    For 2014 the plan is to work with the USFS and possibly do a few small re-routes on Triad Ridge.

    Dates and plans have been posted on the Club Facebook Page and on the HTA facebook page.
