Plus, CDTC’s amazing sponsors are loading us down with lots of goodies to give away. Whether you’re out on the trail or just visiting for Trail Days, the raffle is a great way to support the CDT and restock your gear. 

Come around 5pm for the festivities, and stay as long as you like! 

Team CDTC knows the way to a hiker’s heart: free pancakes! The Trail Days Adventure Festival is a great way to delve into the local cutlure, visit with vendors, and lay back in the grass at Gough Park with a belly full of pancakes. Plus, we’ll have some fun activities for all ages.

• Grab a CDT token throughout the festival (before the event from CDT staff) to gain free access to the after-party at the Zocalo!
• Free pancake breakfast – starts 9:00am and goes while supplies last!

• Vendor Registration is open until March 24!  Vendor Booth Details & Registration
