Volunteer Trail Work Project

2024 Gibson Jack

Loading Events

Join us for a National Public Lands Day volunteer trail work project on the North Fork Gibson Trail. We’ll be working on improving drainage, tread, and brushing. We’ll also work to fill in bridge approaches to help keep them from eroding into the creek.

One of the most popular trails in the Westside Ranger District, this lush riparian trail follows the creek up toward Elk Meadows. If folks are up to it, we may hike the loop back to cars, stopping at Gibson Mountain to take in the views.

More info can be found on All Trails.
