In May 2017\, Derrick led a major\, month-long effort in the BWCA to help restore the Kekekabic\, Disappointment and Snowbank Trails. With the support of 20 volunteers from ages 18 to 70\, Derrick helped reopen 30 miles of Trail and restore 8 hiking campsites after a severe windstorm that knocked down up to 80% of the trees along the trail. Enjoy Derrick’s story of this awesome wilderness experience on a nearby trail while we celebrate National Trails Day.

SHTA executive director Denny Caneff will lead an “insider’s tour” of the Bean and Bear Lakes loop trail\, titled “Bean and Bear With Me — A Tale of Trail Renewal.” SHTA trail development director Jo Swanson will present “Skeeters\, Snow\, and Sleep: 94 Nights on the Superior Hiking Trail\,” about her recently completed quest to camp at all 94 SHTA campsites. You don’t want to miss these two chances to deepen your knowledge and connection with the SHT.\nTrail Run with Trailfitters.
