The Gateway to Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve was built by dedicated members and volunteers. Celebrating the uniqueness of this place, a group of environmentalists, artists, craftsmen and community volunteers designed and constructed the gateway to the Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve with contributions from VMPF donations and a grant from the San Diego Community Foundation.
Local artists James Hubbell, Mirko Mrikajek and Bill Porter, along with many other volunteers participated in weekly work parties for over a year to complete this impressive entrance to the Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve.–(excerpted from www.volcanmt.org)
