GREEN RIVER — The Green River Greenbelt Task Force is holding a First Hike, Bike and Invoice Burning Celebration for the completion of the Skyline Trail parking lot near the Transfer Station on Upland Way. The celebration will take place Saturday, May 3 at 11 a.m.
Searle Brothers Construction and the GRTF will burn the invoices for the work done on Skyline Trail that was created in 2024. Searle Brothers was originally going to build the trail by donating their equipment and operators for just the cost of the fuel and consumables, a price the GBTF could afford after a $100,000 donation from the Dustin Shilcox Foundation. In January this year, Searle Brothers donated all the work done in 2024 in an amount believed to be in the million-dollar range.
After the ceremony of burning the invoice, participants and onlookers will be encouraged to walk any portion of the Skyline Trail and those who reach the quarter mile marker will receive a free t-shirt. For those that traverse the entirety of the trail their name will be placed in a raffle. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $10 or three for $25.
The Skyline Trail is a multiuser, non-motorized trail that is handicap friendly and barrier free. The trail starts at Upland Way, goes up South Hill to the ridge that overlooks the Green River, and proceeds to the ‘Top of the World’ before dropping down to Western Wyoming Community College, Green River Campus.
