The Trail Companion

We're planning the second of two days of trail maintenance projects in Portola Redwoods SP, with camping available on the preceding night. On August 19, Community Impact will join us for a day of repair on the Slate Creek Trail as we clean up debris, repair pig damage, rehabilitate retaining walls and improve drainage.
      Entrance and camping will be free for participants, but reservations with the Trail Center four days before the event will be required for camping. If you are interested in working on this project, please register with Community Impact.

Join us on September 23 for a day of maintenance on the south end of the Skyline Trail, between the Sanborn Trail junction and Sunnyvale Mountain Picnic Area in Sanborn-Skyline County Park. We'll be cutting back brush, improving trail tread and repair erosion damage. Meet at Sunnyvale Mountain parking on Skyline Boulevard (Hwy 35) (approx. 7 miles south of Hwy 9 junction). If we finish early, we'll take an optional hike on our new Castle Rock Trail reroute at Castle Rock State Park.

Peninsula Open Space Trust expects to receive final approval for the Wilbur's Watch Trail and small trailhead parking lot in the Cloverdale Coastal Ranch by early October. The 3/4 mile trail will climb a coastal terrace overlooking Pigeon Point from the lot located just off Hwy 1, and will end at a vista point with a grand view of the point and the northern Santa Cruz coastline. POST, Community Impact and the Trail Center will construct the trail on October 21 or November 4 (date to be determined), with camping or other accommodations for the preceding night provided nearby.
