NPLD Kremmling Field Office Events

Event #1: Colorado River Clean-Up

Volunteers with specialized skills are needed for the Colorado River Cleanup. Duckies, kayaks, and rafts are needed to help clean the Colorado River between Pumphouse and State Bridge. We will clean out stone fire rings and pick up garbage, old tires and other debris in and along the river. All volunteers must have their own PFDs and personal protection equipment such as work gloves.

Event #2: Gore Canyon Trail

Volunteers are needed for the Gore Canyon Trail from Pumphouse Recreation Area. The trail provides fishing access and a hiking opportunity with incredible views of the lower Gore Canyon and the Upper Colorado River. Trail work will include tread and corridor maintenance and some stone work on a retaining wall and steps. Participants should be prepared for all weather conditions and bring work gloves.
