![]() The Rainbow Stream campsite is getting a new privy, and we need your help! On May 31 - June 1 we'll need all the shoulders we can get to haul the lumber and materials to the campsite. We'll also do the site prep which will involve felling some trees and digging to get a flat surface. Access involves about 1.1 miles of hiking with negligible elevation gain (it's basically flat!). The group will car camp nearby. |
