Darners are the largest dragonflies in Alaska (>55 Darners are the largest dragonflies in Alaska (>55mm long) and are strong fliers. With their long, slender abdomens, darners were probably named for their resemblance to darning needles 🪡. 📍Lingít Aaní 📷@doyoucopyover #wildlifewednesday #alaskanwildlife #dragonfly #darnerdragonfly #trails #trailcrew #trailwork #trailbuilding #trailmaintenance #trailsteward #traildigger #trailbuilder #trailslikethese #findyourtrail #hikelife #hikeak #hikealaska #hikejuneau #907life #juneaulife #alaskalife #juneautrails #alaskatrails #juneau #juneauak #juneaualaska #tongassnationalforest #southeastalaska
It’s been a bridge-building extravaganza on Trea It’s been a bridge-building extravaganza on Treadwell Ditch! In just a few short weeks, four new bridges have been installed by our Ditch crew. Some of these replaced old, basic wood structures while others created safe passage across gulleys that were cumbersome to cross. The bridges range in size from 16 to 23 feet long and are all located within a mile of each other just south of the Bonnie Brae access trail. Big thanks to our team of bridge-building experts, Dane, Jean, Jesse, Julio, and Garrett, who even camped out for a week in order to maximize their time out on trail. And a preemptive shoutout to our Trail Maintenance Volunteer Team, who is in charge of building the approaches so there is a seamless transition from the trail surface to the start of each bridge. 📍Sayéik 📷@jeanbanana #treadwellditch #treadwellditchtrail #douglasisland #transformationtuesday #trailtuesday #tongasstuesday #trails #trailcrew #trailwork #trailbuilding #trailmaintenance #trailsteward #traildigger #trailbuilder #trailslikethese #findyourtrail #hikelife #hikeak #hikealaska #hikejuneau #907life #juneaulife #alaskalife #juneautrails #alaskatrails #juneau #juneauak #juneaualaska #tongassnationalforest #southeastalaska

Another crew continued work out at the Eagle Valley Center. There, they began construction on the new elevated walkway.

This #transformationtuesday we’ve been as busy a This #transformationtuesday we’ve been as busy as the beavers at Outer Point! 🦫After the heavy rains, a section of the trail washed out and became clogged with debris. Water was starting to accumulate on the trail and the drains were overwhelmed. Luckily, we were able to quickly fix those issues to get one of Juneau’s favorite trails back in tip-top shape. ✨One of our crews worked to remove all the branches and mud that covered the trail. Then, they added in two new culverts to assist in funneling water under and away from the trail. Once the culverts were in place, crew members added fresh gravel to the areas of the trail that had eroded away. 💥Thank you to Owen, Liam, and Meghan for your hard work on this trail! 💥 📍Deishú Áak'w 📷@meghantabacek #trailcrew #trailwork #trailbuilding #trailmaintenance #trailsteward #traildigger #trailbuilder #trailslikethese #findyourtrail #hikelife #hikeak #hikealaska #hikejuneau #907life #juneaulife #alaskalife #juneautrails #alaskatrails #juneau #juneauak #juneaualaska #tongassnationalforest #southeastalaska
🪓Trail Report Week 16🪓 What a busy week! On 🪓Trail Report Week 16🪓 What a busy week! One of our crews headed out to Outer Point to install culverts and fix an eroded section of the trail. While they were over there, the Treadwell crew continued their impressive bridge building. They are very close to having the four bridges completed. Over at the Eagle Valley Center, a crew finished installing the piers that will form the foundation of the new elevated walkway. Now, they are starting to assemble materials and lumber to begin construction on the walkway. Out at Point Bridget, we flew 70 bags of gravel out to the trail! These bags will be emptied onto the trail and will replace the old boardwalk with a fresh trail. 📍Lingít Aaní 📷@meghantabacek #trailmixreport #trails #trailcrew #trailwork #trailbuilding #trailmaintenance #trailsteward #traildigger #trailbuilder #trailslikethese #findyourtrail #hikelife #hikeak #hikealaska #hikejuneau #907life #juneaulife #alaskalife #juneautrails #alaskatrails #juneau #juneauak #juneaualaska #tongassnationalforest #southeastalaska

SheJumps is an inclusive organization that works to increase the participation, inclusion, and diversity of women and girls in outdoor sports. We provide safe opportunities for women, girls, and those who identify with the women’s community to unearth their potential by experiencing nature and outdoor sports. Recent Southeast AK events have included the Icy Waves Women’s Surf Clinic, the Women’s Adventure Film Festival with UAS Outdoors Club and Rec Center, and women’s courses in Avalanche Awareness, Splitboarding, Glacier Travel, and Crevasse Rescue with @mountain.edventures. These events got us stoked on ramping up in-person events in Juneau in the near future.

This #transformationtuesday takes us to Treadwell This #transformationtuesday takes us to Treadwell Ditch. Anyone who has headed north from the Blueberry Hills access trail knows there’s been lots of small tread improvements along the way. Our Trail Maintenance Volunteer Team, largely on mountain bikes, has a fine eye for detail, and their bikes make them nimble stewards. One of their bigger projects has been a significant reroute of the trail around a gully, but just as important are small sections of fresh gravel that have smoothed out uneven, chunky rock or other “ankle breakers” from the trail. Big thanks to our volunteers working on Treadwell Ditch! Especially on such a long trail, your hard work really adds up for those going the distance. If you’d like to enjoy this improved trail experience, head ~3 miles north from Blueberry Hills. 📍Sayéik 📷@jack.kreinheder #treadwellditch #treadwellditchtrail #douglasisland #transformationtuesday #trailtuesday #tongasstuesday #trails #trailcrew #trailwork #trailbuilding #trailmaintenance #trailsteward #traildigger #trailbuilder #trailslikethese #findyourtrail #hikelife #hikeak #hikealaska #hikejuneau #907life #juneaulife #alaskalife #juneautrails #alaskatrails #juneau #juneauak #juneaualaska #tongassnationalforest #southeastalaska
