Trail Work

Downieville Outfitters is committed to keeping the local trails rockin!

2009 Trail Maintainance:
We completed the cleanup on the Upper and Lower 1st Divide trails this week. We are going to continue to chase the snow up the mountain doing the 2nd and 3rd divides in the near future. One giant boulder left on upper 1st will be cleared with a boulder buster next week. I will assist the Forest Service with this task.

2008 Trail Maintainance:
Pics from doing trail clearing on the Butcher Ranch trail. 8 Fallen logs were removed and the entire trail was raked of debris. Raked! Butcher is like a magic carpet. 30 hours of trail clearing put in to get the trail in good condition before the first shuttle runs up.

2007 Trail Maintainance:
DVO, 321 and friends are undertaking a more aggressive program to ensure all area trails are ready to ride, weather permitting. This year we have put in over 60 hours in mostly loose rock removal, lopping and branch removal on the lower Divides. The mild dry winter has given us a rare opportunity to get out and work. Work will resume when snowpack subsides on the Divides. All of the water breaks on 3rd Divide were so clogged that had we not re-opened them it would have become a river bed during the recent massive storm just dumped on us. We are back at work on the Divides, since Spring is around the corner.
