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: Liz Butte Trail # 649 and Yokum Creek Trail #650  \nItinerary: This is a Monday to Saturday 6 day project. Meet at Liz Butte Monday afternoon to set up camp. Work Tuesday – Friday.  Saturday morning\, clean up camp and head home.    \nFood Provided by ITA: Yes  \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Car Camping\, Food Provided    \nCrew Leader: Clay Jacobson   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: About 3 hours from Kooskia  \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. 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: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – 4.3 miles and 2600 feet of elevation loss from the top down to Weitas Creek and depending on trail conditions\, the crew could expect to clear up to this far. The first 1.8 miles are less steep through the burned area\, and the next section is shaded in thicker forest as it switchbacks down to the creek. Carrying day packs and tools. See the linked map for the elevation profile. \nProject Rating: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – This project will be focused on logout and brushing. This area burned in 2011\, so down trees are expected for repeated saw work; some treadwork may also be needed.     \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.

Idaho Trails Association has been steadily improving this trail for several years\, working from both the north and south ends. On this trip\, we'll hike to Pend Oreille Peak and continue trail work from there\, focusing on the four-mile middle section that connects our previous efforts and creates a more continuous\, accessible route.  \nFrom there\, the trail follows a high ridge with stunning views in every direction. We'll wind past several peaks—including Mount Pend Oreille—while taking in sweeping panoramas of the Purcell and Selkirk Mountains. This stretch is also part of the Idaho Centennial Trail\, a 1\,000-mile route that ITA proudly helps maintain each year. Join us for a rewarding weekend of trail work in a spectacular alpine setting.  \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: Pend Oreille Divide #67  \nItinerary: This is a three-day project. We will have a camp Thursday night at the trailhead\, and we encourage you to join us to get to know each other before a weekend of working together. The crew leader will specify the meeting time and place in their pre-trip emails. Beginning Friday morning for a day of trail work backpacking as we go\, camping nearby. Finishing Sunday afternoon.    \nFood Provided by ITA: No  \nGear Packing List:  Gear Checklist for Backpacking Projects  \nCrew Leader: Clay Jacobson   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: About 1 hour from Sandpoint    \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.

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: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous– Distance will depend on the work we find\, up to eight miles. The trail stays on the ridge\, with net gain and loss of less than 1\,000 feet. Volunteers carrying their personal food and gear.    \nProject Work: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous– Work will mostly involve cutting trees and brush off the trail. Repeated digging or sawing. Carrying tools and days packs. Volunteers can pick trail duties based on comfort and ability level and are encouraged to work at their own pace.  \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.
