Building Little Scraggy Trail in the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area

Quinn and I participated in a couple of trail building days with COMBA this year. We've been helping to build the Little Scraggy Trail, which will eventually form big loop out to the south from the Colorado Trail. The first leg was finished last year. We've been helping with the west side this year. I think it's supposed to all finished in 2016.

It's been fun. We meet the group around 8 or 9 a.m. Saturday morning. COMBA provides coffee and some snacks and goes through a brief safety training, mostly about safe usage of the tools. Then we break into groups and carry our tools up to the trail section we'll be working on. Both times, the areas we've worked were already marked, so our job was to clear the surface and make a trail. Sometimes there's some rock moving involved, which is pretty fun.

For the September 12th weekend, we camped Saturday night with COMBA and did some riding in the morning before we headed home. Here's the first piece of the Little Scraggy Trail.

These pictures are from the July trail day.
