Our chapter sponsors a variety of activities throughout the year. Here is the general schedule for what is upcoming.

Meetings of the chapter board of directors are open to all members and anyone with an idea or concern for the  board is invited to attend. An agenda is prepared in advance so it's a good idea to contact a board member beforehand. Meetings are held from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm in Salt Lake City.

Visitors are always welcome at chapter activities. If you're not sure you'll fit in with this friendly outfit give us a try sometime. We would genuinely enjoy having you along and chances are you'll have a great time too.

Trail Marking

Anytime
Our chapter has an ongoing commitment to mark the historic trails that crisscross the state. At the present time we are placing strong, lasting markers made from railroad rails with stainless steel plaques attached that offer a brief description of the trail at that point, along the entire route of the Hastings Cutoff. Marking trails involves in-town preparatory work such as painting the markers and riveting on the plaques as well as hours in the field locating the trail and digging holes, making concrete and setting the markers in place. All this effort is fun and rewarding and a great way to make and renew friendships. We usually mark trails on Saturdays. Contact our Preservation Officer if you are interested.
