Trail Maintenance and Updates
Volunteers are performing vegetation maintenance, which includes trimming sight lines and encroaching vegetation throughout the trail system. Light tread maintenance is also occurring in various sections throughout the trail system. KCRMA’s contractual trail maintenance, performed by Outdoor Recreation Design, has been completed for the season.
Wildcat Trail –
After years of hard work, planning, and community support, the newest addition to the Ken-Caryl Open Space trail system is officially complete. Wildcat Trail—a three-mile single-track loop winding through the scenic backcountry—is now open for hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers to enjoy!
What makes this project truly special is how it came together. Built largely through volunteer labor, Wildcat Trail stands as a testament to the strength of community spirit and dedication to preserving our natural spaces. Over 2,000 hours of volunteer trail work—led by Ken-Caryl Volunteer Trail Coordinators (VTCs) Mark Celusniak and Dan Mullins—were contributed to the construction of the trail.
Donated volunteer hours are a vital and unique way that the Ken-Caryl Trail Club supports our community and the Ken-Caryl Ranger staff, helping to offset trail building and maintenance costs that would otherwise impact the community.
