Red Rock Trail Fund Accomplishments
Maintaining & Enhancing
the Trails in the Red Rock Ranger District.
The Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund has raised more than $3.5 million since inception – all for the maintenance and enhancement of the trails in the Red Rock Ranger District.
This funding has been vital to the recent successes of the Red Rock Ranger District. Over time, the district has been able to:
Increase the seasonal crew from 4 - 14 workers
Reduce the trail maintenance backloads
Reroute overused trails to improve sustainability
Build new trails to distribute users
Add way-finding and safety signage
Educate users - everyone can be a trail steward
Special donations have also enabled us to create an endowment fund (held by the Arizona Community Foundation) to ensure that funding continues for future generations.
