National Trail Days at Heil Ranch

On Saturday, Ab and I got out to work on the new Picture Rock trail that is going to connect Heil Valley Ranch to Lyons. 225 volunteers helped build over 8400 feet of trail! Big props to Dale and Oskar Blues for putting on a BBQ and supplying 4 kegs of beer. Here's some pics of the day's events:

There are going to be some nice fast sections in this trail
