New extension to Grover’s Grind Trail

It took two years to build and develop the trails. The majority of them were put in last year. Most of the work was done with the help of Jeremy Nellis and his trail building company, Wundrous Trails. The team removed a lot of rocks on the new trails, fixed up a lot of bridges and spent the summer making the ground smooth. Once it is excavated, they'd like to get hay or mulch down to cover the soil so it doesn’t wash away.
