Hello all,
With daylight savings time and spring just around the corner, we're looking to resume the trail work on Peavine real soon.
The Nevada Conservation Corps is returning the beginning of April to work on the next 3 miles of the Halo Trail. We will be scheduling a weekend work day around that time to connect the first mile of the Halo Trail to the existing roads and to make for an interim 2.5 mile loop from the Kings Row Access.
Also this spring we plan to assist the USFS and Washoe County Parks to sign and designate the Keystone Canyon Recreation Area, a Non-Motorized zone around Keystone Canyon and RSF Park. Our annual clean up outing will be on May 10, and we really encourage anyone who wants to further their trail building and design skills to attend the Regional Trails Training at Galena Park on May 16-18. We'll post more days and events as finalized, but here's how the calender is shaping up.

We really have appreciated every ones volunteer help last year, we hope you may help with a small donation this year to help our cause for more and better Peavine trails.
