| Great progress is being made on the Palisade Plunge Trail. |
The Palisade Plunge Trail Phase 2 crew continues to work as four separate task forces.
The first crew cut 2,535 feet of trail with a mini-ex near the Lands End Road intersection and is working toward the lower portion of Otto’s Wall.
The second crew is hand cutting trail just past Otto’s Wall, working toward the mini-ex crew. They finished around 700 feet, working through switchbacks near milepost (MP) 12.24.

The third crew continues to clean up the slide area on Otto’s Wall. They have finished the bottom switchback and the section of the trail leaving the wall area. They are now focusing on getting a trail through the middle of Otto’s Wall, which will require them to reconstruct the largest retaining wall in this area.
The fourth crew is working on road crossings and associated signage.
About 11.96 miles of finished trail is now complete, leaving about 2.77 miles before completing Phase 2 (total 14.73 miles).
