Status: Full, Accepting Waitlist.
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 Main Fork Stillwater River Trailhead (adjacent to Woodbine Campground), we will hike 11 miles to our base camp at Big Park, a sweet camping spot on the Stillwater River. From there, we will work on a 4.5 mile stretch of trail that includes a section of Trail #24 (Main Stillwater) and Trail #90 (up Wounded Man Creek. Our overnight camping gear will be carried in (7/8) and out (7/14) by horse packers who assist the project.
Difficulty: More strenuous. Perhaps the most strenuous aspect of this project will be the 11 mile approach and exit (supported by horses, and fairly flat). 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: 8:00 a.m. at Main Stillwater River Trailhead (adjacent to Woodbine Campground)
