Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew Designs Key Section of the Arizona Trail

In March, IMBA trails specialist Joey Klein worked on several projects to increase mountain bike opportunities in Southern Arizona. The main event was a Trailbuilding School for 45 people, representing several volunteer groups including bicyclists, hikers and equestrians. Special thanks to the Arizona Trail Association, the County Line Riders of Catalina and the Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists. Volunteers helped with design, layout and construction of a reroute in the popular Tucson Mountain Park. Check the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew schedule to find out when you can help build trails in your backyard.

Native cacti can be relocated by separating the "paddles" delicately. The best tools for the job are barbecue tongs and thick gloves.
Every good trailwork day deserves a test ride to check the flow of the new trail.
