Today on the Trail

You all showed up for Treadwell Ditch! 👏👏👏

We are absolutely floored by the response to the Treadwell Ditch Trail Renovation Project. We needed your help to raise the remaining funds to fully restore all 14 miles, and not only did we meet our goal, but we exceeded it by over $10,000. 🤯

Why is this such a big deal? Trail Mix has been working on improvements to Treadwell Ditch since 2010, but it's been piecemeal. This will allow us to execute a plan for the whole trail, ensuring a comprehensive and consistent restoration. The difference between ad hoc improvements and a holistic vision can't be understated.

Thank you all for supporting us to do our best work. We are so privileged to serve this community. 💚

Meet the president of the Trail Mix board, Rebecca

Meet the president of the Trail Mix board, Rebecca Hall. Rebecca’s family has been living in Southeast Alaska since the 1940s, and while she was one of those Juneau kids who said “I’m never coming back,” she’s only briefly lived elsewhere. Juneau is home and the trails make up the fabric of who she is.

Like many who were born here, Rebecca grew up walking the trails with her family. With her own children now, she is even more grateful for that upbringing and that she can raise Marie, age 6, and Leland, age 4, here as well. She feels lucky that she’s been able to take them out on trail from such a young age, even hiking with them on her back.

Rebecca sees our trail system as part of a legacy for the next generation, and this inspired her to get involved with Trail Mix. In fact, it was time spent exploring around Reno and Tahoe as well as in Washington state that gave her the context to know that describing Juneau’s trail system as “world class” is not a cliche.

One of the best parts of our trail system for Rebecca is that there’s a plethora of close-to-home hikes that are short and manageable (especially important for a parent), but there’s still more exploring to do, even having hiked here all her life. Last fall, Rebecca hiked Grandchild for the first time, and now it’s on her list of trails to return to.

In some ways, having so many options within a 10 minute drive can more easily allow one to get stuck in a trail rut. But with over 250 miles, Juneau’s trail system still has more to offer. Just like Rebecca, we encourage you to pick a trail you’ve never done before and make a plan to check it out. Tell us in the comments what trail you want to explore in 2021!

Thank you for another sold-out Hike for a Pint! We are so grateful for all of you who bought tickets, invited friends, and helped us spread the word.

Starting today you can pick up your passport and silipint from @forbiddenpeakbrewery. Remember, you have until March 11 to collect stamps at 5 of 7 trails and turn in your passport to either @juneaulupo or Forbidden for a pint on us.

While your ticket is already strengthening our community by supporting our trails and our local businesses, we encourage you to see what other deliciousness you might want to pair with that pint. 😉

Finally, keep your eyes 👀 on @juneaulupo for an announcement about something special soon. Make sure to give them a follow if you don’t already.

Have fun and be safe out there!

If we’re blessed with snow, Ski for a Pint is in session! 😇 ❄️🎿

We want you to embrace winter recreation in all its forms, so lace up your boots or click into your skis, whatever makes the most sense for you and conditions.

And when you’ve completed 5 of 7 trails on your Hike for a Pint passport, we’ll be there to celebrate! Trail Mix is proud to support @juneaulupo and @forbiddenpeakbrewery by buying you a pint of gelato or beer (must be 21 years of age or older). You deserve it! Link in bio.

Thanks to @cbjuneau Parks and Recreation for being our partner.

These fun snow sculptures were made at the entrance to our shop. While things slow down a bit since we aren’t on trail anymore, we’re still hard at work cleaning and organizing tools, assessing storm damage, and making plans for the spring. In the coming weeks, we’ll be giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what our work looks like in the off season. Hint: it’s a lot!

Do you need a little extra motivation to get outside and breathe in some fresh air?

Hike for a Pint challenges you to complete 5 trails in 2 months and rewards you with a pint of gelato from @juneaulupo or a pint of beer from @forbiddenpeakbrewery (must be 21 or older).

Each stamp of your passport gets you closer to earning that tasty treat all while supporting the upkeep of Juneau’s trails as well as local businesses. So overcome that inertia and commit to getting outdoors this winter. Link in bio to sign up.

We’re halfway through the restoration of Treadwe

We’re halfway through the restoration of Treadwell Ditch AND halfway to our fundraising goal! Will you help us close out 2020 by raising the remaining $11,000 to restore Treadwell Ditch?

Next year, we’ll be starting on the North Fork Eagle Creek to Bonnie Brae section, which includes the difficult Nielson Creek crossing. But before we can delve into those plans, we need your help to meet our matching grant. Make your end-of-year gift today! Link in bio.
