Rotary Trail Partner Day

It will be on June 23 at the Peaks Trail (Breck side), where Rotary will join Breckenridge Grand Vacations folks.  By the way, I forgot to mention that BGV will host a BBQ after the project, where all who participated on the project day are welcome to join!

Work on the Peaks Trail is essential due to the high volume of traffic. We will employ some basic trail maintenance techniques to ensure that this gem of a trail can be used for years and decades to come.
