This location may be confusing as the River Mountains Trail is a hiking trail to the top of Red Mountain built in the mid-1930’s by the Civilian Conservation Corp. It is located near St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. The River Mountains Loop Trail passes through the parking lot, thus it also is an access point.

No facilities available.

They're doing water main construction. I live near there and was notified about the project.

Probably dropping construction materials to one of those mega mansions in the hill

Looks like a recovery or a rescue. Its been happening for a couple of hours.

i didnt get the f.b notice..

I'd like more info for when you guys do a cleanup.

Thanks everyone. I’ve been on the trail many times and it always looks so clean. What kind of trash do you find? Is the trash coming from the casino?

Thanks Thanks Thanks. As a cyclist I occasional stop and kick large rocks off the pavement but i don’t pick up trash. Too bad the “walkers” can’t help keep the rocks off when they come across them.

Thank you all volunteers. That area gets alot of trash blown in from freeway etc.

How about a RMLT pee gravel and liquid rubber to fix the gaps in the trail event.
