Trip Report

We met at the Willamette and 52nd trailhead for our first Saturday morning after our summer schedule. The plan was armor the sides of ditches and culverts to help prevent the trail edges from sloughing into them and prevent flowing water from eroding the trail and culverts.

We hiked up from the trailhead to where Christer and Josh of Parks and Open Space had staged the power-wheelbarrows, tools, rock, and gravel. We divided up the tasks and equipment and headed up the Ridgeline Trail to just below the switchbacks and began working to line the trail edge along the drainage ditches. After adding the rocks we began to bring up gravel to improve the trail bed.

In preparation for further gravel by the NW Youth Corp we built up gravel and the trail over places that cause power-wheelbarrows to tip and roll.
