Our organization in accord with our mission to preserve land for responsible use, have an adopt a trail in the Stanislaus National Forrest. The trail head is 7N09. It is a trail that is off of Highway 4 between Bear Valley and Arnold in California.

A group of us take time to get out there and open and close the trail every year, including maintainance of the designated trail. We try to keep this trail up so that it is usable and others do not try and break new ground, distroying the beauty of the Sierras.
