Trails group, parks director outline Bear Trap Meadow grant site visit and trail plans
Summary
Central Wyoming Trails Alliance and Parks staff said a site visit is scheduled for June 19 to review an Outdoor Rec grant for a 1–1.5 mile Bear Trap Meadow trail segment; the group described trail alignment, shelters and an accessible adaptive segment tied to the Galen master plan.
Austin Burgess of the Central Wyoming Trails Alliance briefed the trustees on a planned site visit for an Outdoor Rec grant application tied to the Galen master plan. Burgess said the Alliance’s visit is scheduled for June 19 and requested that board members and Parks staff attend to review conceptual shelter locations and corridor alignment.
"The grant we wrote for the outdoor rec grant for the Bear Trap Meadow, trail expansion ... It will also be, June 19. Our visit is from 1 to 3," Burgess said, describing the project as a roughly 1- to 1.5-mile beginner-level trail with an adaptive component and a crushed-stone tread option that is intended to avoid encroaching on meadow habitat.
Director Michael confirmed Parks staff will work with the Alliance on conceptual shelter placement and trail alignment; he asked staff to lay out proposed shelter locations for the visiting grant reviewers so they can see intended footprint and scale. Burgess said the proposed corridor also connects to nearby Deer Haven and the Castle Mountain trail network but does not cross city-owned property.
The Alliance also reported progress on other trail work: finishing the Crimson Dawn Veil trail, clearing and finishing trail tread, and ongoing maintenance at Rotary Park. Burgess asked that interested trustees attend the June 19 site visit to help demonstrate the concept to grant reviewers.
Next steps: the site visit scheduled for June 19 will be used by grant reviewers to assess shelter locations and alignment; Parks staff said they will coordinate logistics and lay out shelter footprints for the visit.
