Trip Report

Our group of volunteers met up on a cool evening to hike up the butte and clean the summit steps. Most of our group hiked to the top of the butte before working our way back down. The garden hoes and square bladed shovels made short work of loosening and scrapping the grit and rocks from the steps. People's hard work was followed by loud and dusty work of blowing the steps off with a backpack leaf blower. On our way back down we also picked up garbage from along the trail including an unopened Smart Water bottle which wasn't so smart to litter.

Special thanks go to Pat and Helen for cleaning the trailhead kiosk and steps.
