Event Overview
Education and stewardship are vital for protecting public lands; when trail users learn how they impact the land, they are empowered to make decisions that ensure public lands remain enjoyable for generations to come. Trailhead Ambassadors help educate visitors about responsible recreation, which can reduce negative impacts to the land. As a volunteer ambassador you'll work alongside Greenway Staff to welcome visitors, answer questions, and provide information and education about Leave-No-Trace, so forest visitors have everything they need for a great time.

This event is part of the Trailhead Ambassador Program, and to register you must have completed the short, online training. For more information or to sign up, check out the Trailhead Ambassador Program webpage, or email august.spires@mtsgreenway.org. No experience necessary!

Take a right on Forest Road 4616 and follow for about a half a mile to the turn off for Pete Lake trailhead. Gravel road with minor potholes, accessible by most cars.

Additional Information

The 4-mile hike to stunning Pete Lake has a gentle grade for most of its length, with occasional steep stretches. For the first 2.5 miles, it heads up the valley floor through old-growth forest, sometimes crossing small creeks, and bringing hikers into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.


The Pete Lake trail is in need of signficiant maintenance assistance. The Greenway Trust and the US Forest Service are working together to improve the trail; volunteer support will be critical to restoring areas of the trail that have become unsafe for horses and other users. Volunteers will also help with repairing other stretches of deteriorating trail, building and repairing rock structures, brushing, and removing any downed trees we find along the way.
