Trail Descriptions
Trail information:
After being shut down for over 4 years, the Burnt Meadow Mountain trail also called the Dugway Trail, is back opened. The Trail Master was able to negotiate with three additional landowners to provide a bypass around the land we were unable to cross. The trail has gained a bit more length, but starts and ends where the old trail did. A team of volunteers worked for several weeks to develop this new trail.
Special thanks to club members; Mike Dandano, Mark Preece, Ernie Perreault Jr., Mark Melchionda, Linda McKinney, Peter Valeri and Son and Al McKinney.
