#maintenanceMonday - Hauling Rocks! Sometimes that #maintenanceMonday - Hauling Rocks! Sometimes that's what it takes to build rock structures on the #arizonatrail. ⚒️ A location along Passage 7 of the #AZT had been experiencing erosion and worsening head-cutting over the years. It was only a matter of time before a heavy rain event compromised and damaged the trail. The solution was simple: a rock retaining wall to reinforce and protect the trail. The challenge: no larger rocks nearby. 😎 ATA staff and Passage 7B volunteer segment steward spent one day using a tracked power carrier to transport several tons of rocks from alongside the trail, and one day building a 4-tier rock wall and rip-rap structure to minimize future erosion and reinforce the trail for the long haul. 🌵 Ancestral lands of Tohono O'odham and Hohokam

AND want to give back to the #ArizonaTrail on #givingtuesday?! 😎Look no further than @das_optics ! https://www.dasoptics.net/shop Every purchase earns a check for $10 back to the Arizona Trail, and for giving Tuesday they are doubling that to $20. (no kidding!) 🔸 Sweet stack of interchangeable lenses come with glasses, kid & adult sizes available or check out their new Photochromic options. 🔸 Das Optics, Teton Valley ID: Great Sunglasses | Great Prices | $20 per purchase, back to the Arizona Trail! 🔸DAS Optics is the brainchild of Chris “Jigidy” Jensen and his son Grady. They noticed kids (and their parents) cycling and skiing in really expensive sunglasses and wondered if they could make high-quality sunglasses for less while raising money for their teams. After sampling glasses from manufacturers around the world and testing them with teammates they ordered some and Das Optics was born. Because they buy direct from the manufacturer they can source the best sunglasses. Their small team helps keep their prices just right and raise money at the same time.

⚒️ #MaintenanceMonday! If you've ever been on ⚒️ #MaintenanceMonday! If you've ever been on Passage 15 on the #arizonatrail in the Tortilla Mountains, you may remember traversing an old, deteriorating wood bridge just north of Freeman Road. Well not anymore! This circa 1990s bridge had been exposed to the extreme desert elements for nearly 30 years and had become a safety issue for trail users. It needed to go! ATA staff and volunteer trail steward completed the bridge removal project and constructed a minor reroute within the trail corridor to traverse the drainage crossing. The old trail alignment was abandoned and restored. This improvement now provides trail users a seamless, safe and sustainable route across this drainage. 🌵 Ancestral Lands of the Tohono O'Odham & Hohokam
