Back Country Horsemen - Canyonlands Chapter

This last weekend members got to participate in a cattle sorting clinic put on by Heidi and Zach Bastian. Moab got a little rain the night before which really helped make the temperature perfect, and the next storm held off just until we were ready for lunch!

Last Saturday Canyonlands Back Country Horsemen and several volunteers went out to Onion Creek, to do some updates on the horse corrals there plus some trail maintenance on the trails nearby. Since the corrals are made out of cedar posts, nature, and horses can do some damage to the corrals, so we try to get to them to make sure they are still solid, and safe for horses. A couple posts were replaced in corners of the corrals, and multiple rails were replaced. Plus all of the bailing rope was eliminated.

Despite some silly spring weather we just had a great Spruce Up day on the Onion Creek Corrals and reworking some of the area trails. There were 6 BCHM members, 4 other amazing volunteers, all joining up with the BLM rangers to give our old corrals some TLC and to get ~2 miles of faded trail remarked and roughed out.

Well the river road was blocked for a race when we tried to get up there, so fell back on plan B to check out the courthouse wash area. Found the corrals in use by a group from Wyoming. We did one of the loops out of camp, great ride, warm but not too hot.
