Registration for JATD 2026 is officially open!
Each year, the RRG community comes together at our largest annual trail day event to give back to the land that gives us so much.
Join us as we divide & conquer – tackling trail projects across the Gorge that create sustainable access for generations to come.
JATD wouldn’t be complete without the usual shenanigans – lunch and drinks provided by Miguel's Pizza and Ale 8, dinner from Rockhouse, plus cold beer, a silent auction, raffle, and live entertainment to close out the day. Every registration includes lunch, dinner, snacks, and an official JATD shirt courtesy of Ale 8.
The event was first created to honor John Bronaugh – an early RRGCC volunteer, prolific route developer, guidebook author, and key figure in the PMRP purchase – and his son Alex, who grew up climbing alongside him. After John’s death in 2004 and Alex’s tragic passing just months later, the day became a way to celebrate their lasting impact on the Red and give back to the climbing community they loved.
JATD honors their legacy through stewardship, service, and community – the same values that they quietly embodied without ever asking for recognition.
Johnny and Alex Trail Day (JATD) will be held on Saturday, June 27th at Land of the Arches.
Register now at the link above – we'll see you there!
