Trails: Sand Pass Trail #1912, Mule Peak Trail #1924
Itinerary: This trip will start at the Sand Pass/ Pole Creek Trailhead on the South Fork of Catherine Creek. We will hike up to the basin SE of Sand Pass and establish a base camp. From there, we will work to clear fallen trees on both the Sand Pass and Mule Peak trails.
Bring your own food and the ability to filter water.
Gear Packing List: Early summer-hot conditions with periods of intense sun exposure and variable weather.
Crew Leader: Mike Hansen
Difficulty Rating: Moderate-Strenuous
You should have experience outdoors and be in good hiking condition with broken-in and tested gear. This is a remote backcountry project, so injuries such as sprains and blisters or even extreme fatigue from not being properly conditioned can quickly become a big safety issue.
Hike: 3/5 Difficult-Strenuous: Hiking is done over all types of terrain along a multi-day trip within 5-10 miles from a TH.
Project Work: 2/5 Moderate: Brushing, crosscut, chainsaw, and tread work.
Possible Hazards: Creek Crossings
