Do you love Red Rock Canyon?

Show it.
Join the Springs parks people and construct a trail Saturday. Get there by 7:30 a.m.

Parks people will bring tools and know-how. REI folks provide food and water.

All you need to do is dress for hard work and potential rain. Take work gloves, sunscreen, and a hat.

You'll work till the group runs out of project, energy, daylight, or workable weather.

Register at REI, 1376 Woodmen Road. For info: 260-1455.

Trail washed out

Heading out for a ride down south? El Paso County Parks has posted this alternate route on the Fountain Creek Regional Trail.

Trails closed

Trails south of the Arkansas River in Lake Pueblo State Park will be closed 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday during the Arkansas Point Challenge mountain bike race. That means no hiking, biking or horse riding.

Other areas of the park will be open - and that's plenty of room to roam. And this weekend promises to be a good one for roaming.

The race is USA Cycling sanctioned and sponsored by the Southern Colorado Trails Builders Club. For more information about the race, contact The Great Divide at 719-546-2453 or Vance’s Bicycle World at 719-566-6925.
