Wilderness Volunteers: 2017 Never Summer Wilderness, Arapahoe-Roosevelt National Forest (Colorado) Service Trip
{"Image ImageDescription": "The Never Summer Wilderness shares its eastern boundary with Rocky Mountain National Park. This 21,000-acre wilderness includes landscapes from forested ridges to steep tundra ranging in elevation from 8,900 to 12,520 feet.  Spruce, fir and lodgepole pine blanket the lower elevations.  This area receives large amounts of snow, and four of its peaks have names that hint at their cloud-topped heights: Cirrus, Cumulus, Stratus and Nimbus.  This area is the wild, scenic backdrop to Rocky Mountain National Park.     Our service project will be helping the Ranger District work on the Parika Lake Trail. The project will be re-building of the bridges and water crossings along the popular Parika Lake Trail. The Trailhead sign in box at the Baker Gulch Trailhead is showing a 23% increase in foot traffic and campers heading toward Parika Lake. There are at least three water crossings on this popular route that have failed, and pose dangerous crossings to hikers in the high runoff seasons. These bridges average 20' spans and can be easily constructed using local materials. The area offers unique ridgeline views of the Never Summer Range and Rocky Mountain National Park.
