Trail Work Day: American Fork Canyon
September 19, 2009
8:00 AM - 1:30 PM
Our final trail work day of the year will be in American Fork Canyon, assisting the US Forest Service with the finish work on the recently completed Mill Canyon reroute (working on the backslope, removing roots, removing the outside berm and cleaning out end of drainage dips). As with all of our work days, no previous experience is necessary, only good health and a willing attitude.
Check our Events page for details.
Feel free to print out and distribute a copy of the work day poster.

We finished the South Fork Little Deer Creek reroute project! We had 14 volunteers from the mountain bike and motorcycle communities show up to help along with 5 US Forest Service personnel and 2 members of the YCC.
A big thank you to all that came and gave your time and support throughout the project. Next time you're up in American Fork Canyon riding South Fork Little Deer Creek, check out the newly rerouted section!
Trail Work Day: American Fork Canyon
June 27, 2009
The trail work day on June 27th was a rousing success! We had 20 volunteers from the mountain bike and motorcycle communities show up to help along with nearly a dozen Forest Service personnel.
A big thank you to all of those that came out and helped today with the reroute through the mud bog on South Fork Little Deer Creek trail up in American Fork Canyon! Lonnie, Nathan, Jake, Andrew, Steve, Philip, Kevin, Kerry, Derek, Mike D., Mike D., Chris, Jason, Carlo, Jennifer, Kendra, Mandy, Kris, and Marc, thank you! It was an awesome display of different user groups coming together to fix a section of trail that has been a problem for all of us. Also, a big thank you to Cheryl Butler of the US Forest Service and her entire crew for their efforts. It is obvious that they are as passionate about making this a first rate as we all are. They were great to work with. While we didn't finish, we did make significant progress.
