The Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail Council is committed to the following three broad initiatives and strategies, and will work collaboratively throughout all five regions to achieve them.
Sustainable Funding
- Secure sufficient, sustainable funding for all phases of trail advocacy and support: public consensus, design, operations, and maintenance
Trails Within Reach
- Connect land and people by increasing opportunities for visitors and residents to learn about, enjoy, and steward the natural areas and trails that surround communities
- Increase the trail’s internet presence to better guide users to learn about trail use and to plan their trip
Thriving Communities
- Support collaborative leadership and create active partnerships for projects that meet the community’s economic and public health goals
The thought of a coast to crest trail has crossed my mind a few times recently, but until I randomly came across your website tonight, I had no idea that people are actually working to make it a reality (and have been for 24 years!) Where is the November 20th Trailbusters workday going to be? I currently live in Sonora.
Regards, Andrew Cushman
Hello Andrew,

He works for EBMUD and his number is 209 772-8260 at his office, which is a good place to contact him. Thank you Andrew!
