The crew had a productive morning re-routing the trail around a marshy spot on the basin and placing our first bench, in a nice shady spot with a view of the water birds. It’s just a short walk to enjoy the natural beauty of this lovely area right in Crozet!  

Spring weather has brought out the Trails Crew on several work days recently. We have made improvements to a bridge next to the Dog Park in Crozet Park, adding hand rails. We have re-routed the top of the trail in Foothills Crossing slightly, to make it less steep. And while we were out, we’ve cut…

On Saturday, April 9, Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Jim Northup will be at the Albemarle Adventure Center at the Crozet Depot to speak about the park and then lead a caravan of folks to do a hike with him. Unless there is a time change, we will meet at 10:00 a.m. with a departure to…

Members of the Trails Crew trimmed up the Connector Trail between Westhall and Foothills Crossing, including removal of a small tree that had fallen across the trail. The wet ground, high winds, and ice storm have caused several trees to fall this winter. The sooner we know about them, the quicker we can get them…

Ten trail lovers showed up to tidy up the Creekside Trail in Old Trail. It’s in good shape and ready to walk! Just watch out for the muddy entrance to the trail at the western end, due to ongoing construction in the area. Thanks to all who came to help on a cold morning.

We will have a work day on Saturday, February 27, starting at 9:00 a.m.. on the Creekside Trail. The work may include digging a shallow ditch to drain part of the trail, digging out tree stumps, and additional pruning and trimming. Check our calendar for directions to the location.

The snow and ice earlier this week brought down some trees over the Crozet trails. Some of the Midweek Work Crew got out to clear them away and re-open the Connector Trail in time for the weekend. If you ever notice a problem along the trail, use the link on our Contact Us  page to tell us…

On a very cold Saturday morning, some of the Trails Crew made a special visit to Claudius Crozet’s Blue Ridge Tunnel. It’s not yet open to the public, but eventually it will be part of a nice 3 or 4 mile walk through the mountain and back. Learn more at the Blue Ridge Tunnel Foundation’s web site.  

The Mint Springs workday scheduled for Sunday, January 24th is postponed. New date TBD. Stay tuned and enjoy the snow!

Snowmageddon 2016 is predicted for this Friday. So as not to feel “trapped” by all that snow, go ahead and plan to take a beautiful snowy hike on Friday or Saturday and enjoy the wonders of Crozet shrouded in fluffy white snow. And also plan to come to the “workday” on Sunday at Mint Springs.…

I know, I know. I used to be pretty good about keeping this website updated. What happened? This happened: Soon, she’ll be able to hold a shovel and attend workdays. Anyway, I hope you CTC volunteers can make it to the Holiday Party this Saturday and the grand opening of the Crozet Park Dog Park…
