SUMMARY:Volunteer Trail Workday - May 16\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:We hold trail workdays on the third Saturday during the months of April through October. If you love the Arnold Rim Trail consider joining us for one or all of these trail workday events and help us keep the ART system safe and usable and meet other members of the ART community. Attending just one workday a year helps! \n\n\n\nWHY / WHO?\nThe Arnold Rim Trail Association (ARTA) works under an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to organize and manage volunteers to assist in maintaining trails and providing docent led interpretive programs.\n\nWHEN / WHERE?\nWe will meet at the Forest Service Calaveras District Headquarters in Hathaway Pines at 8:30 am. After a brief orientation and safety talk\, we will carpool to the trail head and hike into the worksite (location to be determined). We typically work for about 2.5 hours and then hike back to the trailhead arriving around 12:00 noon where we end the day.\n\n\nIf you are a new volunteer you will need to complete a Volunteer Service Agreement (VSA) required by the Forest Service. \nWHAT?\nMost workdays are focused on removing vegetation that grows into the trail corridor\, commonly referred to as “brushing”\, to keep trail clear and usable. We are required to wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Sturdy work boots or hiking boots are highly recommended as we normally work in uneven and slippery terrain. Also bring plenty of water\, a hat and sunscreen as we may be working in the open sun. Leather gloves are also a must. If you have a favorite loppers or folding tree saw\, feel free to bring them but we will have tools available.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Trail Workday - July 18\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:We hold trail workdays on the third Saturday during the months of April through October. If you love the Arnold Rim Trail consider joining us for one or all of these trail workday events and help us keep the ART system safe and usable and meet other members of the ART community. Attending just one workday a year helps! \n\n\n\nWHY / WHO?\nThe Arnold Rim Trail Association (ARTA) works under an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to organize and manage volunteers to assist in maintaining trails and providing docent led interpretive programs.\n\nWHEN / WHERE?\nWe will meet at the Forest Service Calaveras District Headquarters in Hathaway Pines at 8:30 am. After a brief orientation and safety talk\, we will carpool to the trail head and hike into the worksite (location to be determined). We typically work for about 2.5 hours and then hike back to the trailhead arriving around 12:00 noon where we end the day.\n\n\nIf you are a new volunteer you will need to complete a Volunteer Service Agreement (VSA) required by the Forest Service. \nWHAT?\nMost workdays are focused on removing vegetation that grows into the trail corridor\, commonly referred to as “brushing”\, to keep trail clear and usable. We are required to wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Sturdy work boots or hiking boots are highly recommended as we normally work in uneven and slippery terrain. Also bring plenty of water\, a hat and sunscreen as we may be working in the open sun. Leather gloves are also a must. If you have a favorite loppers or folding tree saw\, feel free to bring them but we will have tools available.

SUMMARY:Guided Sunset Hike to Cougar Rock - July 25\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Watch the sunset from the top of Cougar Rock on this intermediate hike led by members of the Arnold Rim Trail Association. If you haven’t done one of these hikes\, you owe it to yourself to join the fun. They are scheduled on weekends near or on the day of the full moon each month\, and they are special! \nIMPORTANT NOTES: \n1) This is an intermediate level 4.86 mile hike with 860 feet of elevation gain\, the equivalent of an eighty-story building. We take plenty of time with frequent stops. That said\, it is not a hike for beginners. Please assess your level of conditioning. If you would struggle with an eighty-story building\, even with stops\, please take a few weeks of regular training to make yourself ready. It’ll be worth the investment! \n2) If this is your first time driving to the parking area\, please do not approach on Valley View Drive from Avery Sheep Ranch Road. Instead approach by starting in Arnold and turning off Highway 4 onto Lakemont Drive\, followed by a quick left turn onto Valley View Drive. More travel instructions are below. \n3) Bring a headlamp or flashlight\, bug repellent\, a snack\, water\, and layers. \nNo sign-up needed\, hike proceeds even if cloudy\, but rain cancels. (And if the weather has been wet\, please see caution below about road condition on the half-mile dirt portion of Valley View Drive.) Again\, please bring layers\, snack\, water\, bug repellant and flashlight as return hike is in the dark. \nPlease arrive at the parking lot at least fifteen minutes before departure time for introductions and a brief orientation by the hike leader\, as departure times are prompt: \n\nJuly 25th\, 2026\nArrive at Trailhead: 5:45PM\nDeparture from Trailhead: 6:00PM\nSunset is at 8:17PM\n\n(Return to vehicles about two and a half hours after departing.) \nThe trailhead is at the intersection of Valley View Drive and Forest Rte 5N95Y.\nHere’s a link to Google Maps of this intersection. \nDrive 1.50 miles on Valley View Drive from the intersection of Lakemont Drive and Valley View Drive in Arnold. The first mile of Valley View Drive is paved\, and the last 0.45 miles is dirt. There is no sign at the intersection of Valley View Drive with Forest Rte 5N95Y\, but you will see a parking area on the right with a picnic table at that location. Here’s a link to Google Maps that shows the drive from the intersection of Lakemont Drive and Valley View Drive in Arnold to the intersection of Valley View Drive and Forest Rte 5N95Y. \nCaution about wet weather driving: Please note that in wet weather\, the half-mile dirt portion of Valley View Drive can be very slippery. Two-wheel drive vehicles have difficulty driving back up the hill after the hike. All-wheel drive vehicles highly recommended in wet-weather. \nThe GPS coordinates of the trailhead:\n38.21938\, -120.37873 \nQuestions? Email info@arnoldrimtrail.org. Pictures of the sunset hikes are often posted to the ARTA Facebook page.
