As the Spring season winds down, we're working on getting trails ready for the summer season. For this trail work party, we'll be returning to Cloverpatch to work on a few of the switchbacks and drainage on the classic Cloverpatch descent through the meadow.
The first project is a switchback we spent some time improving last fall. Over the winter, the trail settled in - so we need to get a bit of fill to build it up. We'll also be widening and improving the switchback below that one. Finally, the trail has a lot of cupping so we'll add some nice deep drain dips to help improve drainage.
Cloverpatch is a key part of the ATCA loop and one of the more popular "backcountry" trails in our network. We'd love your help getting this trail ready for the 2024 season!
