In this role, My co-leader and I managed 52,800 feet of improved trail and 165 structures, such as retaining walls, benching, water bar maintenance/replacement, to bring trails back up to sustainable standards In my second role, I worked on a four-member crew to assist the Rocky Mountain National Park Trails department during the shoulder season. I assisted in constructing 200 feet of new trail, 60 feet of retaining wall, and maintained 26 miles of trails. In both of these roles, I have developed an aptitude for coordinating logistics, managing a large team, and functioning in a back country crew setting. Show less
