Help TKO fix up the Lower Rogue Trail. We will cut downed logs lying across the trail, remove brush from overgrown areas, and fix trail tread as needed. We will carpool to the worksite from Lobster Creek Campground each day.

Hiking information:

The hike is moderately strenuous. Expect to hike up to 5 miles (3 hours hiking) each day over rough steep terrain. There are plenty of ups and downs along the trail. Expect to descend 500 ft elevation over 2.5 miles, then climb back up at the end of the day.

You should plan to participate in this trail party for its entirety. For safety reasons, please do not arrive late or expect to be able to leave early.
