Trail Clean-up Hike and Bike
Aug 10, 2024 - North Hills El Paso, TXTrail Clean-up Hike and Bike
The Borderland Mountain Bike Association teamed up with WeHike Adventure to clear our North Hills trails of a number of blue spray painted arrows.
A special thanks to all participants and volunteers for their commitment, taking on this sprawled out challenge in quickly rising temperatures.
Please remind your friends to practice leaving no trace and respect our trails and natural open spaces. It is never okay to paint rocks. Remember the use of our trails is a privilege, and not a right.
Thank you, Speedy's Pizza for the delicious lunch!
