Event Description:
After the incredible success we have had at Heil with the Wild Turkey and Picture Rock trails, BMA and BCPOS are looking at the rest of Heil Valley Ranch. We want to bring the old trail up to the standards of the new trail.
Long, straight runs are no longer the way to go in trail building. Grade dips and contouring ensure a more sustainable trail system and a more enjoyable ride.
To match the new trails, the old trails on the south side need a face lift. Years of use have resulted in a wide, gravelly, loose treads. And we know how to fix it.
Come out on National Trails Day and help us put the shine on the front side to make the WHOLE of Heil Valley Ranch as enjoyable as Picture Rock and Wild Turkey.
We'll be building new track within the old tread, bringing in the old trail and adding in contours, grade dips, and diversion structures to reshape the trail tread to the new standards.
