Placer County Water Agency

Total focus is on trail preservation, either by
improvement or maintenance, and is meant to provide a safe route for the
Western States Endurance Run and the Tevis Cup Ride, as well as enjoyment of
the trail by growing numbers of the general public who spend time in the
outdoors.
Trail Volunteers are Essential!
Trail work is done principally by volunteers. The USFS
and California State Parks & Recreation do not have general trail
maintenance programs covering the Western States and peripheral trails. Also,
the funding for WS Trail projects generally comes from private organizations,
such as the WS Ride, the WS Run and their associated foundations.
Volunteering on the trail is rewarding and fun. And,
for those who are entered in the WS Run and are within driving distance of the
WS Trail, our scheduled work projects are the perfect way to satisfy the Run's
volunteer service requirement!
