NATIONAL TRAILS DAY

As part of National Trails Day on Saturday, volunteers will be out in force helping spruce up many hiking trails throughout the area. You can sign up at your local REI store to join an event near you. Or join the Mountain Trails Foundation, REI and Starbucks for a day of volunteering on the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail. Meet at 9 a.m. on Saturday at White Pine Touring to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Utah State Parks. Volunteers will then bike or ride to the Wanship trailhead to weed and help mend fencing. Lunch will be provided at noon by Spring Chicken Inn at the trailhead. For more information, contact Carol Potter at 435-649-6839 or e-mail carol@mountaintrails.org.

MILL HOLLOW CLOSED

The reservoir will not be stocked with fish until after the project is completed in 2008. The Mill Hollow campground is also being renovated and repaired and will remain closed until 2009.
