The Team has completed their survey of 9.3 miles of trail through the Bell Mountain Wilderness. Bell Mountain is a 9,027 acre wilderness area with elevations that range from 1,702 feet at the summit of Bell Mountain to 970 feet in Joe’s Creek drainage.
Nothing can stop our TrACS Team from conducting our surveys. With morning temperatures below freezing the team hiked over 40 miles through freezing rains, gusty winds and even a little snow to complete our surveys of the Bell Mountain Wilderness trails (and we are all ready for Spring to arrive!). With Bell Mountain behind us the Team has now moved to the Ava Ranger District and has begun surveying trails in the Hercules Glades Wilderness… stay tuned for our next update!
