What: Join us at Cascade Views to start building the new Hummingbird Trail. Yup that's right we will be building a new trail on the Cascade Views Trail System to continue where we left off last year! You don't want to miss out to be the first to throw some dirt on this exciting new trail!
We will be building all spring so keep an eye out for more Meetup events!
Where: The group will be meeting at the end of a paved dead end road a quarter mile south of the Cascade View Trailhead (GPS Coordinates 44.27698, -121.31664) NOT THE TRAILHEAD. Be sure to drive past the trailhead and look for the COTA sign. Then turn right and drive to the end of the road until you find the COTA trailer.
