Continental Divide Trail Celebration
Hopewell Lake
Carson National Forest
Saturday, September 28, 2019
9 AM – early afternoon
After more than a decade of planning, dedication, and the hard work of Forest Service staff, partners, and volunteers alike, the section of the Continental Divide Trail that traverses the Carson National Forest is finally complete! That’s more than 100 miles of single-track trail that has been built by nearly 500 volunteers and youth corps members – many of whom have returned summer after summer to leave their mark on this special place. In celebration of this incredible accomplishment, the Carson National Forest and the Continental Divide Trail Coalition would like to invite NMVFO to join us at Hopewell Lake on National Public Lands Day, September 28. From 9-1, volunteers will put the finishing touches on years of effort, and at 1 we’ll officially designate this section of the CDT and celebrate with a cookout and a relaxing afternoon to enjoy our shared public lands. Folks are welcome to join for the entire day or simply for the afternoon’s celebration. More info and RSVP is available at bit.ly/CarsonCDT. No pre-sign-up with NMVFO is required, just attend, and join in the celebration.
