Restoring the Gill Trail after the Flash Flood in July
The Gill Trail is the trail that provides hiking access to the legendary Cheesman Canyon section of the South Platte River. The last time the trail was restored was from 1999-2006. And after the flash flood on July 31st, 2023, the trail is in even worse condition. This accelerated erosion has made the trail restoration even more critical in order to conserve the Gold Medal water that is Cheesman Canyon.
Our speakers, Bill Mangle of ERO Resources and Priscilla Marbaker of Tapis Associates, will discuss the current trail assessment, their findings, initial trail repair, and the upcoming pilot project.

This month’s pre-meeting demonstration will begin at 6:00PM. Our very own Jerry Shin will present the Chapter’s upcoming destination trips to the Big Horn and the Green rivers. These are great opportunities to not only meet new folks and learn some fishing tactic, but fish some of our area’s legendary waters.
