Peters Ridge Trail Erosion Work Accomplished!

Swan Rangers in Service restored 8 old water bars and installed 12 new water bars in the first steep stretch of the Peters Ridge Trail on Saturday, July 18, 2020!

They also hacked down and raked up the tall grass at the trailhead so hotly-parked cars wouldn't catch the grass on fire as it soon dries out. Never park a hot car in dry grass that can touch the exhaust system! You can see a couple spots in these photos where parked car engine heat killed the green grass down to the ground!

Swan Ranger Volunteers Repair Trail Tread!

Swan Ranger volunteers have been digging new trail tread where uprooted tree "root wads" blocked or took the trails with them!

Five big wind storms since October blew down a lot of trees in the Swan Range and elsewhere. While others are clearing the trails with chainsaws, Swan Ranger volunteers have been able to help reestablish trail tread where necessary - here along the Echo - Broken Leg Trail and along the Switchback Trail!
