Friends of the Dillon Ranger District and Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance will be partnering for the annual Trailhead Hosting Day on Saturday, July 2. Volunteers from both organizations will be stationed at 20 of the busiest trailheads on one of the busiest days in Summit County. 

Volunteers will be at the trailhead in order to act as a friendly presence, answer questions and gather user data for the U.S. Forest Service. Volunteers will be set up by 8 a.m. and will leave the trailheads by noon. 

This will be the first time the Dillon Ranger District has held this event since the COVID pandemic, but the organization has had success in previous years in contacting locals and visitors alike to educate the public about best practices.
