Denny Creek Trail #1014
Event Overview

After a summer of work rehabilitating the upper Denny Creek trail, we've accumulated quite the tool cache up on the trail and we need your help to hike it all back down! The cache is located 3 miles up the trail (with 1500 feet of elevation gain), so be ready for a hike! We should have time to do a little bit of trail work while we're up there (mainly brushing and clearing loose rock and other hazards) but the main purpose of the event is to hike down tools.

Difficulty
Moderate to Strenuous
Age Restriction
Ages 14 and up.
What to Bring

For safety, volunteers are required to wear:

In addition, we recommend that participants bring:

  • Warm layers
  • Sunscreen
  • Rain gear
  • Big sack lunch
