Carson City to highlight acquisition near Ash Canyon for Saturday's National Trails Day
Come celebrate Carson City’s trails on National Trails Day, Saturday, June 1 at 8 a.m. Carson City will be hosting an event on one of our most recent Open Space acquisitions, 206 acres near Ash Canyon.
Mayor Bob Crowell will say a few words about Carson City’s Open Space program and will be joined by members of the Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department, the Nevada Land Trust and Muscle Powered.
Volunteers from Muscle Powered, the Great Basin Institute and the Tahoe Rim Trail Association will be working on a section of new trail. The public is invited to attend a short hike to experience the views from this property, observe how trails get built, learn about Comstock logging history, how nature has recovered after the Waterfall Fire, and other topics.
The meeting location is at Ash Canyon water tanks. There will be signage directing participants to the parking area. Shuttles will also be available at the end of Ash Canyon Road near Wellington Crescent for those who need transportation to the water tanks.
Hiking areas are on rough terrain, so participants are asked to wear close-toed shoes and to bring water, a hat and sunscreen. We also ask that you try to arrive a few minutes early so we can start promptly at 8 a.m. The public event will conclude by 10 a.m.
For additional information on National Trails Day, contact Gregg Berggren at gberggren@carson.org.
