Community partnership, volunteers break ground on Foothill Trail in Carson City
It’s National Trails Day, so community partnerships and over 30 volunteers teamed up with shovels in hand to finish work on the Foothill Trail behind the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center in Carson City.
The Foothill Trail, which connects to the V and T Railroad grade, is a result of various partnerships within the city, including Muscle Powered, Carson Tahoe Health and The Greenhouse Project.
The trial will be part of a larger “Rail Trail” project to follow the route of the V and T railroad from Reno, through Carson City and then to Minden and Virginia City.
The Foothill Trail also promotes the healthy benefits of walking and connecting with nature.
“It takes lots of work to sustain this land on a regular basis,” Muscle Powered volunteer Donna Inversin said. “But it’s all worth it to see this beautiful trail grow and catch the eye of the folks all over town.”
Questions about the trail can be used using the #HikeForYourHealth on various social media outlets.
