CT Volunteer Trail Crews

The Colorado Trail Foundation invites you to attend one or more of our worthwhile Trail Crews. Volunteers team up to complete essential trail improvements, set up camp, prepare meals and enjoy the evening campfire. Crew projects range anywhere from constructing water diversions and removing hazardous obstacles to building bridges and creating new trail. We promise lots of fun, rewarding work, fresh air and new friends!

Please consider joining us this summer as a Trail Crew Volunteer. We need your help in caring for the 567-mile Colorado Trail and would truly appreciate your stewardship. We look forward to seeing you out on the Trail!
