Volunteers needed to assist with Tombstone Trail update

On Sept. 13 and 14, the statewide nonprofit Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, in partnership with Colorado Parks and Wildlife-Steamboat Lake State Park, will lead volunteers ages 14 and older in helping to restore the popular Tombstone Nature Trail in Steamboat Lake State Park.

The Tombstone Nature Trail is a 1-mile, self-guided nature loop that offers beautiful mountain views as it winds through forest and open prairie. Due to heavy use, the trail is in need of attention to help correct erosion and drainage issues. The trail also was damaged during a tree-cutting project to remove beetle-killed trees.

“The Tombstone Nature Trail is a great representation of the environment at Steamboat Lake State Park,” Steamboat Lake State Park manager Julie Arlington said in a news release. “It passes through several different plant communities and offers great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Wildlife of all types is commonly seen along the trail. This trail is important for both experienced hikers and naturalists, and for introducing people that are new to looking for outdoor adventure.”

During this project, volunteers will address erosion and drainage issues by widening and adjusting the slope of the trail. Work also will include the construction of water bars and timber steps.

No experience is necessary to volunteer. For registered volunteers, free camping is available Friday and Saturday night, and meals will be provided Saturday through Sunday lunch.

Volunteers are asked to register in advance at http://www.voc.org/projects or by calling 303-715-1010.
