2010 Completed Projects |

Lower Stratton Springs/Upper Meadows Trail Improvements, Stratton Open Space. Colorado Springs, Colorado. Picking up where we left off last spring with the Ridge Trail Spur rehabilitation (see below), we continued the gradual process of converting a trail system based on legacy grazing routes to a more sustainable rolling contour ideal. This project involved re-routing a trail to remove it from a creek-bed; plus a healthy dose of riparian reclamation and trail remediation for good measure!. Work included re-routed and additional trail, a reconfigured trail-head access, re-configured trail junctions for the Upper Meadows Trails and Lower Stratton Springs Path, and a new creek-crossing featuring a neat little armored casueway, The new trail system provides more sustainable balanced grades, reduces the potential for further impact to sensitive riparian habitat, and provides enhanced access opportunities for this heavily used Open Space gateway.

Hanson-Larsen Memorial Park. Rapid City, South Dakota. North Loop Trail Construction More trails for the Hanson-Larsen Memorial Park in Rapid City! Utilizing the northern forty acres of the property (dubbed the North Forty) we configured a beautiful loop system that connects the existing Far East Trail and will provide additional trail-head access from the northeastern park boundary. Approximately 1.5 miles, the loop navigates around deep wooded drainages, traverses over rocky ridges with awesome views, and winds through native tall-grass meadows. Just the beginning of trail development on the North Forty, we'll be following up with St. Johns Trail, and some road-to-trail conversions that will provide three distinct loops and almost three more miles of trails! (See additional photos of the project and features like Owl Point, Owl Hollow, the Secret Valley, and the Northern Spur in our Latest Trail News section from 2010.)

Buzzards Roost Trail Project, Black Hills Mountain Bike Association (BHMBA), Rapid City, South Dakota.
Working with the Black Hills Mountain Bike Association (BHMBA) www.bhmba.org, and in conjunction with the US Forest Services Mystic District we hit the slopes of Buzzards Roost to assist with the completion of this long-term trail project. Over the last two seasons, the BHMBA has developed approximately 6 miles of sustainable single-track hiking and mountain biking trails. TrailArts assisted with the layout and mechanized construction of an additional 1.5 miles fo rolling-contour trail and constructed improved trail-head access on the northern and western perimeters. More trails are planned for development in the near future so put Buzzards Roost on your ride/hike list! |

IMBA Gateway Trail Project. Hansen-Larson Community Park . Rapid City, South Dakota Directional Signage Installation We returned to Rapid City for IMBA and the Hanson-Larson Memorial Park in March to complete installation of temporary interpretive and directional signage for the entire trail system. Lots of carsonite and lots of stickers equals directional indicators, difficulty ratings, restrictive reminders, and designations for EMS. A permanent signage plan is in the works and we'll continue to fine-tune the system throughout 2010 as more trails are developed.
Right on the heals of the signage project, we resumed stonework on the Hobo Portage. Utilizing a naturally formed "notch" in the ridge formation, we widened and improved the passage with a combination of stone-cutting, step installation, and extensive retainment. The Portage will serve as a vital link from the Lower M-East and Lower Rim Blue trails to the Upper M-East, Dark Forest, Upper Ridge, and Mid-Turkey trails. Thanks to volunteers from the Black Hills Mountain Bike Association (BHMBA) www.bhmba.org for the extra muscle!

Ridge Trail Spur Rehabilitation, Stratton Open Space. Colorado Springs, Colorado. Picking up where we left off in December, another fall-line trail was added to the list for a sustainable re-route and subsequent closer. A-little timber, a-little bedrock, and some frosty ground added to the fun! With grades averaging seven percent for the new section, it should prove to be much more sustainable and user friendly than the old 25-30% route. As one of the most popular routes in the Open Space, more work is planned on the Upper Ridge Trail in the near future to correct the severely damaged Mesa Ridge section.
