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...

Get Ready — The 2026 Trail Season Is Shaping Up!

This is the season we’ve been working toward. Thanks to over 100 registered volunteers, a growing list of approved projects, and a whole lot of community passion, TCVS is gearing up for one of our most ambitious years yet. You asked if we could plan ahead — we heard you. While we can’t lock in exact dates just yet (weather, approvals, and funding all have a say), we can give you a solid look at what’s coming and roughly when. So mark your calendars, watch for our callouts, and get ready to...

We’re Growing — And We Need You Behind the Scenes

Trail building and maintenance might be what most people picture when they think of volunteering with the Creston Valley Trails Society. But before we ever pick up a pruning saw or a rake, there’s a whole lot of behind-the-scenes work that makes it possible. As TCVS grows, we’re spreading the load — and right now, we have four key roles to fill. These positions don’t require you to haul tools up a hillside. They require your time, your skills, and your passion for trails and community....

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...

Sanca Creek Trail Project: A Community Reconnection to Haystack Mountain

When one of our hikers slipped crossing the dilapidated Sanca Creek bridge in late 2024, it sparked more than concern—it lit the flame for a major community effort. That single moment launched a year-long initiative that not only replaced the unsafe crossing but revitalized an entire trail that had long been in decline. More Than a Bridge — A Trail Reborn The 36-foot aluminum bridge, helicoptered in and bolted securely over Sanca Creek in September 2025 has become the project’s crown jewel....
