Project Name: Gold Fork – Snowshoeing
We’re partnering with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation to help brush some of the winter trails in the South Idaho Park and Ski system. This work will be accessed by snowshoe, a first for ITA!
Volunteers will meet at the Gold Fork parking area. From here where we’ll work along the Gold Fork Loop, clearing brush far back enough for a snow groomer to safely travel through. If time allows, we can also work on the Summit Trail, across highway 21, accessed from the same parking area. The Gold Fork area accesses several big loops with more beginner friendly climbs!
