Mt Graham Camp/Ride/Work Wknd June 6-8

Please join SDMB June 6-8, 2025 at Upper Arcadia Group Campground (6700ft) for a weekend of Bike Riding, Trail Work, Hiking and Camping. Traill work location is TBD but most likely Arcadia, Ladybug or Grant Hill. Work will consist of tread improvement and brush clearing work. . 

Registration  required to manage camping capacity and tools. If you are bringing a friend or partner plans to work please add them as a +1.

Upper Arcadia Group Campground has water and pit toilets. Trailers/RV's up to 21ft are noted on the USFS website. However, the mtn road is paved with numerous sharp corners. We may have trailers park in the overflow lot across the street to make room for tenting in the main parking area of the group camp. At the base, Mt Graham General Store has gas, ice and most of the basics if you forget something. They close at 830pm.

Friday night is for arrival and setting up camping. Volunteers need to be at camp at Saturday and Sunday mornings at 830am for our safety talk. We usually roll out for a 1/2 day of work at 9am. Folks ride/hike/chill after trail work. Generally we try to coordinate shuttles among volunteers. These events are foucsed on fun and the Mt Graham Trail Crew is known for a great vibe and good times. Come experience Mt Graham!!

Tools will be provided. Head and eye protection is required; bring a hard hat or bike helmet if you have one.
