An effort to keep the trails we enjoy in the best shape possible
With all of us out riding all the time on the multitude of trail options in the Prescott area, it would be great if we could all work together to report issues we see. Overgrowth, erosion, trees down, shifting rocks or damaged waterbars, missing or damaged signage. What parts of your favorite trails have been neglected?
Here is how this bulletin board will work. As with all posts on this site, the comment option at the end of each is open to all users... even anonymous users. If you see something that needs attention during your time in the back-country, please post up what you have found. Trail numbers will be very helpful and the better description you can give of location as well as the issue needing attention the better the action that can be taken.
From there, PMBA can work to create trail maintenance events along with the PFS when required. Through using this website and our page on Facebook volunteers can be located and individuals can be made better aware of what needs to be done. This bulletin board approach is a bit experimental, but lets see the kind of results we can produce working as a community and not solo cyclists.
Without this awareness, any sort of group effort in regards to repair or maintenance doesn't even have a place to start.
One tip... please click the above title of this post to link to the actual permanent post address. Then bookmark that address as to allow you to easily return and post up what you have found. There is also a link to this bulletin board on the upper left margin of our site.
Thanks in advance for your participation.
Report it to fix it.
Volunteer when you can to maintain it.
Simple as that.
There's a double-trunked tree down on trail 396, about 5 minutes past the little pond if you're riding away from White Spar Road. Both trunks are ~6" diameter.
ReplyDeleteThe above mentioned tree on T396 has been removed.
ReplyDeleteTwo trees across the Isabella Trail #377. One within 100 yards of the 377/307 intersection on top & one about 1/4 mile more or less from the Trailhead near Walker Road in Potato Patch
ReplyDeleteTrees on Isabella Trail removed
DeleteTwo trees down on T327 about one mile from the Camp Pearlstein end. Each tree is big, both at or over 12" in diameter.
ReplyDeleteTrees on T327 have been removed.
ReplyDeleteWhite Rock/318 is in need of brushing. It's a heavy-traffic multi-user group trail and sight lines are an issue, as is the continued widening of the trail.
ReplyDeleteTree down across the 326 (Thumb Butte) about a 1/4 mile north of the 314, in the ravine area.
ReplyDeleteBIG tree down about 100 yards from Copper Basin on T48.
ReplyDeleteThe tree down on T48 has been moved aside and is no longer an issue.
ReplyDelete2 trees down on 326 yesterday - about half way between 323 and the bottom. Upper one is pretty big. Lower one was pretty rotten and relatively light so I pulled it mostly off the trail.
ReplyDeleteTree down on 327. Closer to Pearlstein end. About 6" around.
ReplyDeleteTree down on the 347, one mile S. (uphill) from the 345 connection with the 347, or 1/2 mile S. (uphill) from the 309 horse trail - which doesn't help much if your heading N. or down the 347. No place to get around it - it's surrounded by Manzanita brush!
ReplyDeleteTree(s) have been cleared on T327
ReplyDeleteBig tree down on Trail 307 laying lengthwise in the trail, about 1 mile from the 307/377 intersection. GPS coordinates for USFS or PMBA trail crew..

Tree across the 326 has been removed.
ReplyDeleteTree across the 347 has been cleared.
ReplyDeleteTree down near the top of the new Wolverton trail.
ReplyDeleteLarge tree down across the 305, about 5.2 miles from the trailhead parking lot at the bottom. It's just below the steep grade. You can get around it on the lower side.
ReplyDeleteA couple of small (<10" dia.) trees across lower 347 (N. of jct. w/ 348) and one big 24" dia. tree across 348 just 100 yards from the jct. with 347.
ReplyDeleteStill a large tree across Trail 305 just past the gate. Chuck C. mentioned on 01/30/12....I'll post on Facebook as well & maybe Rob or Shu can get the F.S. to act on it.
ReplyDeleteTree down on Trail 387, about a 1/2 mile in off of Trail 327.
ReplyDeleteAs of yesterday, 12.9.12, there was a downed log/snag across the Tr. 322 downhill at the bottom end of the "Chute" section (3/4 of the way down from 326). Be careful.
ReplyDelete03/02/13 - There were 2 trees across Trail 366, on the re-routed portion just before it intersects with 9401J. Moved one out of the way, but couldn't get the second one completely off the trail. Another tree was across 9401J about 0.5 mile from same intersection.
