This is a popular access point to the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness\, and we'll work on the Lochsa Peak Trail. This section is part of the Idaho Centennial Trail\, but instead of thru-hiking\, we'll enjoy the luxuries of camping in an established campsite.  \nWe'll begin at the Wilderness Gateway Trailhead and work up Lochsa Peak as far as we can. The trail travels through a beautiful\, shaded forest with a mix of switchbacks and long\, straight sections. While the climb is fairly steady\, it's mostly shaded. The area receives enough rainfall to support dense undergrowth and plenty of wildflowers where the forest opens up.  Occasional breaks in the trees offer sweeping views of the surrounding area!  \nCheck out this ITA Trail Spotlight about this trail!  \nProject information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email. Failure to respond to your crew leader may result in being dropped from the project. See our FAQs\, reach out to your crew leader\, or contact ITA staff at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org if you have questions.  \nTrails: Lochsa Peak Trail #220  \nItinerary: This is a weekend project.  Welcome to camp with the crew leader starting Friday night\, and car camping near the trailhead for the entirety of the project.  Working all day on Saturday. Wrapping up any work Sunday morning\, heading home early afternoon.   \nFood Provided by ITA: No    \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Car Camping\, Bring Your Own Food    \nCrew Leader: Clay Jacobson   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 1 hour from Kooskia  \nTrail Map:  Click for trail map and elevation profile   \nRefundable deposit: $25  \nWhy do I need to pay a deposit? We've had trouble with people backing out of trips at the last minute which can really affect the productivity of the overall project. By charging a refundable fee\, volunteers are less likely to cancel their reservation. Refunds will not be given to volunteers that do not show up or cancel their reservation. Exceptions will be made for medical reasons or unforeseen circumstances. Volunteers can choose to donate the deposit to ITA. All donations are tax-deductible and will go towards maintaining trails throughout Idaho. If you require assistance in paying for this fee\, please contact us at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org and we will waive the cost.   \nDifficulty Rating  \nHike: 4/5 Strenuous – Closer to a 3.5 but rounded up as the trails get steep fast out of Wilderness Gateway! 2\,500 feet elevation gain over three miles.  Switchbacks\, with some longer straight sections to rest.  Carrying day packs and tools. See the linked map for the elevation profile.  \nProject Work: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – This trail gets some regular maintenance due to its proximity to a busy Wilderness access point\, so work will depend on conditions after the winter. Saw work and log out expected with some brushing\, some digging/swinging tools for tread work.   \nVolunteer Spots Available: 1 of 10\nIf there are no volunteer spots available\, click “Sign Up” to get on our waitlist for this project! \nWaitlist Signups: 0 \nSign Up×Sign Up\n\n \n \n Project Sign-up for Youth Projects\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Please fill out this application form for yourself (if over 18) or for your child.

We'll fly from McCall into Shearer\, a backcountry airstrip along the Selway River.  51 Ranch Outfitters will provide pack support to move gear up to a base camp. From here the crew will work on clearing the Moose Ridge Trail\, working north and south from base camp as time allows. Finally\, the crew will backpack back to the river\, before getting picked up and flown back to civilization on the last day!   \nThis section of the ICT may be some of the toughest for hikers to navigate on the whole 1000-mile trail because of downed trees and thick brush after 2017 wildfires burned much of the area. Opening this section is not just a benefit for long-distance hikers (who greatly appreciate our efforts)\, but these trails would be used by horse packers\, hunters\, and backpackers once clear! ITA\, the Forest Service\, and Selway Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation have all put time into re-opening and maintaining this section of trail over the last several years.  This project immediately follows the ITA Ditch Creek project\, where that crew will help ensure the trail is open for us to get to camp! Between the two projects\, ITA will make a big impact on one of the most overgrown sections of the ICT!  \nProject information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email. Failure to respond to your crew leader may result in being dropped from the project. See our FAQs\, reach out to your crew leader\, or contact ITA staff at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org if you have questions.  \nTrails: Moose Ridge #562  \nItinerary: This is a Saturday to Friday weeklong project. Fly out of McCall early Saturday morning. Packed up to base camp for the week.  On Thursday\, backpack back to Shearer to prepare for a Friday morning flight back to McCall.  \nFood Provided by ITA: No – This project is eligible for backpacking food per diem.  More information here     \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Backpacking Projects with Pack Support \nCrew Leader: Clay Jacobson    \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: Flying out of McCall\, Idaho  \nTrail Map:  Click for trail map and elevation profile   \nRefundable deposit: $50   \nWhy do I need to pay a deposit? We've had trouble with people backing out of trips at the last minute which can really affect the productivity of the overall project.

If you require assistance in paying for this fee\, please contact us at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org and we will waive the cost.   \nDifficulty Rating  \nYou should have experience with backpacking and be in good hiking condition with broken-in and tested gear.  This is a remote backcountry project so injuries such as sprains and blisters or even extreme fatigue from not being properly conditioned can quickly become a big safety issue.  If you are unsure about the proper gear or about preparing for a trip\, please reach out to trails@idahotrailsassociation.org.   \nHike: 5/5 Very Strenuous – Pack supported up to camp\, about an 8-mile hike.  It climbs gradually for the first 5 miles along Ditch creek\, then switchbacks steeply up to the ridge for 1 mile. Finally\, the trail climbs along the ridge to base camp. Carrying day packs and some tools. See the linked map for the elevation profile.  \nProject Work: 4/5 Strenuous – Lots of saw work\, brushing\, and some tread work\, working north and south as time/downed trees allow.   \nVolunteer Spots Available: 1 of 10\nIf there are no volunteer spots available\, click “Sign Up” to get on our waitlist for this project! \nWaitlist Signups: 0 \nSign Up×Sign Up\n \n \n Project Sign-up for Youth Projects\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Please fill out this application form for yourself (if over 18) or for your child.
