Status: Closed, details of this project are still being confirmed.
Work: On this project, we will primarily be "brushing," which involves lopping and sawing brush and small trees encroaching the trail. We will also clear downed trees and clean water bars as needed.
Description: Leaving from the West Fork Stillwater River Trailhead, we will hike 15 miles over 1.5 days to our base camp on the Lake Plateau. From there, we will work on a beautiful half mile stretch of trail, near Owl Lake, Wounded Man Lake, and Lake Pinchot. Our overnight camping gear will be carried in and out by horse packers who assist the project.
Difficulty: More strenuous. Perhaps the most strenuous aspect of this project will be the 15 mile approach (supported by horses, over 1.5 days) which gains a total of 3,900'. From there, our work will be fairly standard for an ABWF trail project. If you have questions or concerns about the approach or work, please get in touch to [email protected]. We would love to talk things through and see if you may be a good fit for this project!
Group size: Six Volunteers
Meeting time & location: 7:30 a.m. at Old Nye Fishing Access Site, just before the Stillwater Mine.
