Once we build a trail to a new climbing area, our long term work to maintain an area is just beginning.

Overgrowth, downed trees, invasive species, rare species, natural disasters, and human use and trends, are all factors in the long term sustainability of an area. Big thanks to our C4 Team of Dain, Dan, Felicity, and Sophia for braving the heat and helping to start to clear the trail at Ghost Town this week in preparation for public access. We found some surprises, like this tree that fell this week from far above. Big thanks to the Great Trails State Program and @conservingcarolina for supporting our continued trail building work out here! @greattrailsnc
