National Trails Day 2011- Tunnel-Rattlesnake Connector Trail

The Tunnel-Rattlesnake Connector Trail, a trail that had seen better days. Burned to a crisp in the Jesusita Fire, washed out beyond recognition the following two winters, and overgrown and in need of some serious help. Along comes National Trails Day and not a second too late. This agency sposored event involved many of the big trail organization in town and around 25 volunteers from the community. A large portion of the trail was repaired and made very user friendly thanks to the good turnout.

Thanks people! I am taking my hiking group there next Saturday. We are going to park at Skofield and shuttle to the Tunnel trail head to do a loop. I was worried about the connector from other comments and never having been there before. Thanks for your hard work -- I feel much more confident about the hike. See http://www.theweekdayhikers.com
