Three Peaks Trail

On 7-14-15 the east 0.4 mile of the Three Peaks trail was cleared of windfalls and the remaining about 0.8 mile of the Three Peaks trail in the wilderness was inspected. The non-wilderness part of the trail was not inspected. About 35 wind falls up to about 26" diameter remain on the wilderness part of the trail. Some of the logs may require multiple cuts to clear the trail. The "X" marks the last log that needs to be cleared heading east. A couple locations require some dirt work to fill/work around up turned root wads.

Photos are from the east working west. At the wilderness boundary the survey crew bailed over the hill cross county toward Packwood Lake.

An update, the non-wilderness and about the west 1/4 mile of the wilderness trail were cleared 8-8-15. About 33 windfalls up to about 26" diameter remain on the wilderness part of the trail.
