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: Windy Bill Trail # 351 and Scurvy Mountain Trail #524  \nItinerary: This is a Sunday-Saturday weeklong project. Welcome to camp the night before and meet Kelly Creek Trailhead to carpool the last few miles on Sunday morning. When at the trailhead\, drop gear with packers and hike into camp. Work Monday-Friday\, returning to base camp each day. On Saturday morning\, the packer returns to bring the gear back to the trailhead.      \nFood Provided by ITA: Yes  \nGear Packing List:Gear Checklist for Packed Supported Projects\, Food Provided  \nCrew Leader: Clay Jacobson   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 2.5 -3 hours from Pierce\, Idaho  \nTrail Map:  Click for trail map and elevation profile for the Hike into Camp and the Hike for Work   \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: 4/5 Strenuous –   Three miles with 1\,800 feet of elevation gain for an uphill but reasonable hike to get to camp\, some big switchbacks to get up to the ridge\, where it evens out. More strenuous is the hike to the trail work from camp; it's a steep climb back down the hill to the lower ridge\, but the views from camp are worth the climb! See the linked map for the elevation profile.  \nProject Work: 4/5 Strenuous – Work will include some tread work\, installing waterbars \, and improving switchbacks with increasing climbs to work each day. Swinging tools\, digging and moving dirt\, lifting materials.  Potential for brushing or log out.   \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.

Please contact us if you or anyone you know may be interested at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org.  \nThis project\, we will be working in partnership with the Backcountry Horsemen of Priest River\, helping to strengthen and restore these essential structures\, which provide safe passage for hikers and stock users.
