Volunteers started clearing overgrown brush today on the Linville Gorge Trail switchbacks below Babel Tower.
Recent snowmelt has turned the Kistler Highway into a muddy mess. The crew met at the Info Cabin and had to be shuttled down to Babel Tower in 4WDs. (Photo: Kevin Massey)
The LGT was well designed in this area and the switchbacks are very nice. A little brushing and trailbed work and this will be a great section of trail capable of supporting the many visitors to Babel Tower during the summer season. (Photo: Kevin Massey)

This is the infamous graffiti at Babel Tower. Several removal techniques were tried in preparation for an upcoming event focused on this tedious task. (Photo: Kevin Massey)
Another ongoing project is the removal of trash from this crack in the cliff face. (Photo: Dalton Walters)
A lot of families on this crew. Nice to see everyone included. (Photo: Mike Jones)
