Grapevine Canyon Trail Cleanup
We'll meet in Fawnskin at center of town on the north side of Big Bear Lake, look for 3 fawn statues pictured above. GPS coordinates are listed on the RP map below for exact location. Please be there by 10am sharp; this is where we'll be joining the Park Ranger, after which we'll head out to Grapevine Canyon which is about an hour away. We'll perform basic trail maintenance, and if it's already looking pretty good, we can take to cleaning the BLM portion of the trail (where the driving gets a bit more technical), as well as nearby campsites that may need it. Duration to be determined by the condition of the trail.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN THE ADDITIONAL NOTES BELOW
