Join SBTS on Friday, July 10 – Sunday, July 12, 2026, for our fun-filled Trail Daze event in Graeagle, with trail work located in the beloved Lakes Basin! The SBTS Youth Crew will be working alongside volunteers and helping lead project work, making this a special experience.
The weekend festivities include: sleeping under the stars, digging in the dirt, and some sweet Lost Sierra adventures.
Trail Daze are like an Epic’s little brother, camping in the mountains, doing good work on trails, but with freedom for you to explore Graeagle for dinner as we are camped in town!
You do not have to be a member to participate. Sign up for our newsletter, or follow our Facebook and Instagram accounts to be notified about the upcoming event.
RSVP sooner than later as these “sell-out”!
Where to meet
Bunkhouse Flats (right across from the Graeagle Outpost and store, see attached map) in Graeagle by 8:30AM Saturday, July 11th. If you’d like to camp, the Bunkhouse Flats will be available Friday & Saturday nights. This is a great, flat, grassy spot convenient to everything in Graeagle. We will have the whole area reserved so look for an open spot and grab it. Please leave room for others and be conscientious about your setup. We’ll carpool from this location to the trailwork.
