Fuji Mountain & Bunchgrass (FUGRASS) Trail Work Party
Come help build trail history with us!
Join Oakridge Trails Alliance for a day of building the Fuji Mountain/Bunchgrass Connector (FUGRASS) the final missing link connecting two of Oakridge's most iconic trails!
This project has been years in the making, and every work party gets us one step closer to opening this incredible new connection. Once complete, the trail will create a seamless backcountry route between the Fuji Mountain and Bunchgrass trail systems, giving hikers, mountain bikers, runners, and other trail users a whole new way to experience this beautiful landscape.
Whether you're a returning volunteer or joining us for the very first time, we'd love to have you! No previous trail-building experience is necessary. Our crew leaders will provide all the tools, instruction, and safety guidance you need.
