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 4:30 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.
