Project Name:  Upper Basin Interpretive Trail 

Project Dates:   May 30  

Join ITA for a day of brushing and drainage work on the Upper Basin Interpretive Trail. This is an easy, family friendly, 5-mile loop, and is a popular trail on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest used by hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. The interpretive trail includes markers along the route, guiding you through lush forests and highlighting the area's old growth stands. Spring wildflowers may be present in the meadows.  

For anyone interested in camping before or after the project, there are many dispersed sites along Elk Creek and the road to Upper Basin trailhead, with meadows and ceder groves nearby to explore.
