Sierra Sun: Dollar Creek Trail receives funding for grooming this season
In a story published in the Sierra Sun, reporter Katelyn Welsh features North Lake Tahoe resident Justin Sheaff and the grassroots passion project he’s pursued for the past 15 years benefitting the local community – winter grooming of the Dollar Creek Trail.
Welsh profiles Sheaff, how he got started, and how the project has evolved over time to now include the 4+ mile Dollar Creek Trail and a connector to Tahoe XC.

The NTCA awarded $125,000 in TBID funds to support the grooming effort, which local business owners are quoted in the story saying they’ve benefited from.
