in Quarry Ridge (Moderator: Schrader)

In the spring of 2014, I'm planning on re-signing all of Quarry Ridge including adding a kiosk with a map. There will be trail markers on each trail showing trail name, difficulty, direction, etc. The signage will be very similar to CamRock. To complete this project, I could use some help planning this project if someone has some free time.

Step 1 is I need trail names. I'm not very creative with names. Currently, most of the trails have legacy names based on a feature on the trail and I haven't named any of the new stuff. It might be best to not change existing names to avoid confusion.

Here are the existing names (or lack of name) and the description of where the trail is at. Please post with trail name ideas. Include the letter so we know what trail you are referring to.

A. Sandy Climb - From picnic bench to top of hill.
B. (Name needed) - Downhill from top to concrete bridge/dam.
C. (Name needed) - New uphill from concrete bridge/dam to the top of hill.
D. (Name needed) - Twisty trail from the concrete bridge/dam to the picnic table.
E. (Name needed) - Lake Trail has been proposed) - New beginner trail built this fall from the picnic table to the concrete bridge/dam.
F. Three Sisters - The jump line next to the Sandy Climb.
G. Sandy Bowl - The name says it all.
H. Tunnel Trail - The trail leading off of the main downhill run with jumps and the famous wood wall.
I. Ambulance Trail - Steep uphill in the downhill area.
J. (Name needed) - New downhill trail to be built in spring 2014 with a bridge over the main downhill.

What about incorporating the names of the people who really worked hard to make these trails happen? Seems like a lot of "thankless" volunteering goes on especially with the trail stewards. Could be a nice way to recognize the work that they have put in....

K. Original Sin- the two cliff drops (rollable) on north side of bowl which were the 1st trail at QR-circa 1998.  New finish is rough cut.
The downhill that Alex originally started might be another coming real soon trail... perhaps a thought for the Kiosk this spring Jeff.

Bad use of the quote feature, these are mostly my trail names not Tim B.  I like the better signage and kiosk idea.  Camrock is good, but I like the signage at Levis a lot also.

I thought about naming after people, but that picks favorites. Besides, the trail name ideas on here are awesome, keep them coming!

I'm finalizing a few trail names. Unless anyone speaks up, the ones in bold are final. These are based on the online posts and offline discussions. Thanks for all the input.

I'll keep thinking about the other names. Drawer Dropper along with Man Down will definitely be a trail name, I'm trying to figure out which trail. I think we might need to rename 3-Sisters into more names this spring due to all the improvements being planned over there.

I'm still looking for a few more names. The ones below in bold are finalized. I wouldn't mind renaming Three Sisters if we can come up with something better.

The plan is to print signage with trail names, and add trail maps/kiosks, so we need to get these finalized. Thanks for the previous input and I look forward to more good suggestions!
