Trail Marker Maintenance – Trails West, Inc.

With all the markers we have out on the trails, many of them are getting to where they need maintenance work. Attached here is an Inspection Report form that can be printed out and it would be a great help if anyone out on a trail would take a copy along and fill it out as they pass by a marker. It would also be a big help if you would fill it out even if a marker is fine. That way we’ll know that someone won’t need to make a special trip to check it. The form can then be filled out on a computer and emailed to:

markermtce@emigranttrailswest.org

Thanks, this would be a big help in our continuing efforts to maintain our markers.

Trails West (TW) has two stickers on our T-Rail markers. There is an official National Park Service (NPS) California Trail reuleaux triangular sticker (guitar pick shaped). The other TW “Join Us” with a Quick Response (QR) Code rectangular shaped sticker when read with a smart phone or tablet will take the user to the TW website for additional information on our mission, membership and available guidebooks. While on your ventures if you run across damaged TW T-Rail markers, plates or excess stickers, please report your findings and the marker number to: TWinfo@emigranttrailswest.org
