West Pinto Trail  -  Trail Maintenance  -  between Miami & Superior
VOAZ volunteers will be clearing corridor on the beautiful West Pinto Trail in the Superstition Wilderness between Superior & Miami. The trail has not seen much maintenance over the years and we will work to make it more accessible.
  VOAZ has been asked to work on the West Pinto Trail (212) in the Superstition Wilderness. This trail has not seen maintenance in quite a while and at this event, volunteers will open the corridor and perform basic tread maintenance from the Mile Trailhead to Oak Flat (about 2.5 miles).

NOTE: Volunteers will be hiking (with personal items for the day and tools) a minimum of 2+ miles and up to 5+ miles on unmaintained wilderness trails. The work will include pruning and grubbing plants from the trail corridor, cairn construction and some basic tread repair.

This area has intermittent water and the valley is filled with Emory oaks and sycamore trees. We'll (car) camp at the recently acquired Miles Ranch/Miles Trailhead (no permanent facilities at this site).

Because this event is in the wilderness area, numbers are restricted.

The trailhead is about 12 miles east of Superior and about 2 hours from the VOAZ office. Saturday night dinner and Sunday morning breakfast will be provided by VOAZ.
