Our crews have been working hard and keeping warm Our crews have been working hard and keeping warm in this cold weather. We have some big projects that we’re close to wrapping up and we couldn’t be more excited to share the final reports with you. Last week, crew members finished construction on the Nielson Creek bridge. This bridge spans 46 feet and is our biggest bridge we’ve built so far. Over at the Eagle Valley Center, crew members continue work on the elevated walkway. Railings have been attached to the walkway which means the project is close to completion. This week, we’ll be building approaches and adding the last few feet of decking. 📍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#treadwellditch #treadwell
Volunteer work on the Christopher Trail continues! Volunteer work on the Christopher Trail continues! @shejumps joined us last Saturday to help resurface the trail by hauling and spreading gravel. They made a big impact in just a few hours and just as importantly, were a fun crew to hang with. Thanks so much for coming out! The season is winding down quickly, but if you are part of a group that would like to volunteer, we can still use your help this month. Head to the link in our bio and let us know! 📍Dzantik’i Héeni 📷 @brittatonnessen #copepark #christophertrail #flumetrail #alaskanwomenintheoutdoors #heralaskalife #heralaskaadventure #alaskanwomen #trailcrew #trailwork #trailbuilding #trailmaintenance #trailsteward #traildigger #trailbuilder #trailslikethese #findyourtrail #hikelife #hikeak #hikealaska #hikejuneau #907life #juneaulife #alaskalife #juneautrails #alaskatrails #juneau #juneauak #juneaualaska #tongassnationalforest #southeastalaska

We are bear-y 🐻 pleased to share today’s #tra We are bear-y 🐻 pleased to share today’s #transformationtuesday from Kootznoowoo or Admiralty Island. Earlier this season, one of our crews traveled to the popular Pack Creek Bear Viewing Area to replace the access bridge to its observation tower. The island is home to an estimated 1500 brown bears, so we worked closely with the @u.s.forestservice to minimize the project’s impacts to the bears as well as keep our team safe. Kootznoowoo, which means the "Fortress of the Bears," was named by the Tlingit people for its large brown bear population. It also has the highest concentration of bald eagles in the world and provides habitat for Sitka black-tail deer, mink, marten, otters, and other birds. This is a very special place, and we are proud to have been able to complete this upgrade so that visitors can continue to enjoy wildlife viewing for years to come. Thank you to Dane, Julio, Jean, and Jessie (with help from Duncan) for making this happen. Not only did they camp out for over a week, they contended with an onslaught of bugs and periods of heavy rain that almost guaranteed they never had dry clothes. Thank you for your dedication! 📍Chichnáx̱ 📷@doyoucopyover, @jeanbanana #kootznoowoo #packcreek #admiraltyisland #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
After a successful fly day, crew members have begu After a successful fly day, crew members have begun work on the Nielson Creek bridge! This is our largest bridge yet, but luckily our crew members have become quite the bridge building experts. Nielson Creek will hopefully be completed within the next two weeks. Over at the Eagle Valley Center, crew members continued work on the elevated walkway. Last week they cut posts to size and installed the rail posts. 📍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#treadwellditch #treadwell

Last week, we took advantage of the sunny weather Last week, we took advantage of the sunny weather window to fly in 45 gravel bags to Treadwell Ditch for tread improvements, and through the power and depth of our Trail Maintenance Volunteer Team, about 25 of those bags have already been emptied. That’s enough gravel to fill one and a half dump trucks! Each bag weighs about 1700lbs so that’s no small task. The gravel is transferred one shovelful at a time to wheelbarrows where it’s carried to the appropriate spot on the trail. It’s then spread with rakes and packed down with tampers. Over the course of the season, this volunteer team has improved over 1.5 miles of trail on Treadwell Ditch, and once they empty out the remaining gravel bags, that total will be around 2 miles. A big thank you to our volunteers for all your hard work! 📍Sayéik 📷@arvoldhaas, @doyoucopyover #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
Last week we had our eyes on the sky!☀️🚁 Du Last week we had our eyes on the sky!☀️🚁 During the couple days of clear weather, we sent up gravel bags and bridge parts to the Treadwell Ditch. The gravel is being used on the approaches for the four new bridges we installed earlier this season. Now that the bridge parts have been flown up, crew members are able to begin assembling our largest bridge yet. Their work on the Nielson Creek bridge began today. 📍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#treadwellditch #treadwell
After last weekend’s storm we’ve been hearing After last weekend’s storm we’ve been hearing quite a few reports of downed trees over trails and landslides. To help us take care of Juneau’s trails we need some help from you! Next time you’re out hiking and see damage to the trail, snap a picture and make note of how far you are. When you get home, fill out the Juneau Trail’s Damage Report. These reports enable us to quickly address damage to our trail system. You can find the link to the report in our bio, or on our website under “Contact Us.” 📍Lingìt Aaní
