Project Description: Please join us at Dead Horse Ranch State Park to support the construction of steps on the connector trail between the River Day Use Area and the Mesquite Cabins camp area. Dead Horse Ranch is situated amidst an abundance of life along the Verde River. A six-mile reach of the river is known as the Verde River Greenway. Its unique ecosystem, the Cottonwood / Willow riparian gallery forest, is one of less than 20 such riparian zones in the World.
The connector trail where we will be working has sections of moderately steep grade that would benefit from the construction of tiered steps. The earthen steps will be bordered by pre-cut wooden bollards. Work will consist of shoveling and leveling trail sections and adding the bollards. Arizona State Parks will provide water and light snacks. Volunteers need to bring their own lunch.
