🎉 Another Milestone Reached! 🎉

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, volunteers, and supporters, Friends of Cross Bar has met the 2026 Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) funding requirement!

Because of your support, we've successfully completed another major step toward building permanent public access to the Cross Bar SRMA.

Now our focus turns to the final fundraising effort. We have $1.8 million left to raise by March 1, 2027 to complete the local match needed for construction of the access road. We're closer than ever, and together we can finish the journey.

We've also updated our website with the latest project milestones, fundraising progress, and what's ahead—including this fall's 70% design milestone. Take a look and see how far we've come!

Good morning everyone. The Cross Bar did get a little bit of rain last night. Roads are just slightly muddy not bad but just a heads up that you will get some mud on your car. It’s a beautiful morning and we hope to see you out for open trails day.
