The project will focus on rerouting 2 sections on the Pancake Rocks Trail. The construction of the new trail tread follows a specific predetermined path laid out by the USFS, please follow all guidelines provided by RMFI staff on tread width and direction. Project tasks may include decompacting hardened soils, moving materials such as rock, dirt, and timbers, and potentially constructing check dams, drains or other trail features at the direction of RMFI staff.
