ATTENTION! The Foothills Trail has extensive damage due to hurricane Helene. We ask you to please stay off the trail for your own safety and give us volunteers time to repair our damage at our homes and get utilities restored.

IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED! Given the reports coming in we are asking for donations for the purchase of new saws, extra bars, chains, bar oil, etc. Click here to make your donation, every penny helps!
