Membership Policy

We are a service organization and ask that each member participate in at least 4 one-day activities, such as those listed below.

Trail Hosts

While out hiking, members wear Forest Service Volunteer T-Shirts and Badges. When meeting other hikers they offer friendly greeting and, provide information, minor assistance, or a reminder concerning rules, if needed.

Adopt-a-Trail

The group has adopted the trail from the Junco Lake Cabin to Columbine Lake. This generally involves two work days in early summer with tasks for every level of ambition.

Cabin Hosts

The US Forest Service maintains two trail-head cabins in the county, at Monarch Lake and Junco Lake, both serving the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Members staff the Junco Lake Cabin on summer weekends, and the Monarch Lake Cabin two days a week. This involves learning the trails and area served, and the applicable rules and regulations. You also get to meet a lot of interesting people.

Registration Boxes

To provide the Forest Service with needed information on trail usage, the group builds, installs, and maintains registration boxes at critical trail-heads.

Time Reporting

The Forest Services uses our volunteer hour data in grant requests and reports.

Other fun things include:

Group hikes and backpack trips.

Good company and delicious potlucks. The group's biannual meetings are treats for the palate and social instincts.
