Ka Papa Cedars Trail: Clear, Clean, and Ready
If Ka Papa Cedars has been on your list, now is a great time to go. Monday, TCVS volunteers headed out to tackle a blowdown that had been blocking the trail. Six trees down, six trees cut out and cleared. The trail is now open and in excellent shape — exactly the way it should be. This is the quiet, unglamorous side of trail stewardship. No fanfare, just people who love these trails showing up with chainsaws and doing what needs to be done. We're grateful for every one of them. Help Us Keep...

Today, we added the finishing touch: a brand new trail registration box. The New Trail Registration Box The original box had...
Balancing Rock | Boardwalk Replacement — Project Update Spring 2026 | Trail Improvement
Spring is arriving, and so is one of our most exciting projects for 2026. This season, we're replacing the deteriorating boardwalk in the wetland area on the Balancing Rock Trail— and we're doing it right. The old structure has long reached the end of its life, and in its place, we'll be installing a floating dock-style boardwalk that will be more durable, more functional, and better suited to the dynamic wetland environment it crosses. We're proud to share that this project is generously...
You Asked, We Listened: Introducing the TCVS ActivePlus Membership
More perks. More connection. More trails. All for $20 a year. Here's something we love about the TCVS community: you tell us what you need, and we get to work. Back in 2024, we sent out a member survey — and the results were clear. One of the most common reasons people were joining TCVS wasn't just the trails. It was you. It was the people. It was the chance to find a like minded community, hiking partners, meet fellow adventurers, and feel genuinely connected to the Creston Valley outdoors...
