Title

Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail - Middle Bar Segment

Description

The proposed project will establish the MCCT Middle Bar segment located on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada in Calaveras County in Central California at an elevation range of ~600 to 1100 feet. Approximately half of the trail will be constructed on existing fire roads and primitive abandoned roads. The remainder of the trail segments will be constructed with a small trail dozer and/or work crews on undeveloped ground. Brushy vegetation will be cleared to a width ranging from 5-12 feet along the trail alignments and the constructed trail width with be 2-5 feet. Work crews using hand tools will be utilized and District staff will also use a Trail Cat dozer where feasible. The proposed trail segment with adjoining river access spurs will be single loop and leaves the potential for establishing a link to another MCCT segment to the east in the future. The proposed work is planned to start in Summer 2011 and the in-service date for the trail segment is anticipated to be in Fall/Winter 2012.
