This year marks the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Wilderness Act, so it was only appropriate to spend National Trails Day in the Bruneau-Jarbridge Rivers Wilderness. Last year we carried out trail work on Roberson Trail West and this year we continued that work by tackling Roberson Trail East.

Thank you volunteers!

This was our fourth year collaborating on a National Trails Day project with the BLM and REI Boise. With the help of our 33 volunteers, we were able to put in new trail signs, repair tread, install water bars, and fix trail switchbacks along the one mile stretch of trail with a 1,000’ change in elevation.
