This is an opportunity to work with 2 wonderful, local non-profits for a cleanup on Rampart Range. The focus will be on campsites on CR 300 (Rampart Range Rd) from Loy Creek to Mt. Herman Rd.
We welcome and need additional volunteers, but ask that if anyone is joining you to have them also pre-register so that we can make sure to have enough supplies, food and t-shirts for everyone. If they decide to come last minute that is ok as well. Saturday looks to be a lovely day, but we suggest that you dress in layers as weather is ever changing up on the mountain.
CARAVAN MEETING TIME & LOCATION: ARRIVE EARLY, but if you would like to go directly to Base Camp on your own, feel free to do so. Directions are given below. The roads do NOT require 4WD, but are dirt and are washboardy, so give yourself plenty of time to go an appropriate speed. We suggest caravanning and following others up that are familiar with the area, or carpooling with friends.
8:15 DEPARTS MONUMENT: Dirty Woman Park (17575 Mitchell Ave) in the main parking
lot by the playing field.

Range Rd.
BASE CAMP – FS Road 945, which takes off on the west side of CR 300 (Rampart Range Rd), between Mile Marker 24 & MM 25. We will caravan to 945 to sign in and break into groups to work on 2 main sites just up the road. We will then meet back again at FS Rd 945 for lunch.
Directions from Monument: Take Mt Herman Road (CR 320) from Monument up to Rampart. At the stop sign at the top, turn left onto CR 300 (Rampart Range Rd). Continue about 1 mile and FS Rd 945 will be to the right. It is after Mile Marker 25 and right before Mile Marker 24. Base Camp will be up the small hill and to your right. You can see it from the road.
