The OHTA will be sponsoring 3 work weekends during October. This will enable us to take care of some problem areas, getting the trail ready for hiking season and trail runs/events that the OHT will be hosting.

All 3 Base Camps will be camping events. So, you can bring your camping gear - we will have several sites reserved at the campgrounds at no cost for you. Also, we will provide BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER for all participants. Hardhats and safety gear will be provided, if needed. Members and nonmembers are welcome.
