 This past week, thanks to funding from the BLM Tres Rios District, the Aqueduct trail heads had heavy equipment making improvements and enlarging the parking areas! We are so excited to now have parking lots that will accommodate trail users with ease! Also, there will be soon be trail kiosk signs! Permanent trail junction signs are in the works, as are other improvements! So grab your bike, lace up your hiking boots and saddle your horse to enjoy all the beautiful wildflowers and vistas that Mancos' newest trails have on offer!

Work began in early May on the new Crosscut Trail at Aqueduct, which starts at the top of RipRap and connects to Ridges near the bottom of Mountain View. In some sections the flagged trail corridor was thick with Gamble Oak and large dead trees, requiring the use of Sawzalls to open up the trail. Shawn Gregory of Big Loop Trails was contracted to use the mini-excavator to cut and sculpt the trail. After all the heavy lifting with the machine, volunteers came through with hand tools to cut loose roots, buff out the the trail and improve drainage. Final step...pack in the trails with use from hikers and bikers! |
