Gear will be packed into our backcountry camp along the Wild and Scenic Selway River. Starting from the Race Creek trailhead\, we'll hike about 12 miles to camp at Bar Creek on the Selway River Trail\, where we'll set up for the week. Each day\, we'll work higher up the ridge\, returning to camp each afternoon. At the end of the week\, pack stock will return to bring our gear back to camp.   \nThis section of the Selway is a great low-elevation\, early season trail\, very popular with hikers\, backpackers\, and equestrians. The Sixty-Two Ridge Trail climbs above the river\, connecting with several trails in the heart of the Selway- Bitterroot Wilderness. ITA worked on the switchbacks in 2025\, and this crew will continue to focus on improving the switchbacks that are beginning to slough off the hill\, as well as log out and brushing.  This crew's work will help support a Selway Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation Crew getting packed in later in the season.  This combined effort promises to make a big impact on this section 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.

Participants will fly into Taylor Ranch and work down creek\, traveling deep into the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness. The week combines extended backpacking\, remote living\, and hands-on trail work\, offering a realistic look at what it takes to live and work in hard-to-access public lands.  \nThroughout the project\, participants will help maintain an essential corridor along Big Creek by completing brushing\, tread repair\, and slide removal. In addition to trail work\, the crew will connect with professionals working in a range of natural resource careers\, including trail and wilderness operations\, land management\, logistics\, and field-based science. Crew members will also share responsibility for all aspects of camp life\, including camp setup\, water and sanitation\, and tool management\, while building leadership\, communication\, and teamwork skills and practicing Leave No Trace and project safety expectations.   \nITA's youth projects are completely free for volunteers to join\, and all food is provided. Gear can be borrowed from ITA if needed with advance notice\, or youth may apply for scholarships to purchase gear they need through the Splattski Outdoor Access Fund.   \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 ourFAQs\, reach out to your crew leader\, or contact ITA staff at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org if you have questions.  \nTrails: Big Creek Trail #196\, others from Big Creek TBD  \nItinerary: This is a Sunday-Saturday weeklong project. Volunteers and a parent/guardian will join a pre-trip Zoom meeting before the project. Meet in McCall early Saturday morning and fly into Taylor Ranch. Backpacking and working towards the Middle Fork. Hike back to Cabin Creek with a stop at Taylor Ranch for an early flight back to McCall Saturday Morning.  \nFood Provided by ITA: Yes – Backpacking   \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Backpacking Projects  \nCrew Leader: Taylor Mailly and Barry Miller   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: Flying out of McCall   \nTrail Map: Click for trail map and elevation profile  \nYouth Trip Selection:   \nYouth trip sign-ups will be open until March 22nd. Although early sign-ups will be prioritized\, ITA leadership and staff may adjust the final crews to maximize trip experience and provide opportunities for the greatest number of youth participants. To help facilitate trip assignments\, please sign up for your preferred trip and include alternate trips you could participate in\, should the preferred trip not be available. You will receive notification of trip assignment via email prior to March 31st.  \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: 4/5 Strenuous – Carrying all personal gear\, food\, and tools. The Big Creek Trail has ups and downs as it follows the creek but with no major elevation gain or loss. Depending on work\, the crew may work up the ridge trails which climb steeply out of the creek into the surrounding mountains.   \nProject Work: 4/5 Strenuous – This project will be removing logs\, cutting brush\, removing rocks and sloughs and overall improving the trail tread\, potentially moving large amounts of earth to fix slides. This is ponderosa pine/Douglas fir country so the trees may be big and complex.   \nVolunteer Spots Available: 100 of 100\nIf there are no volunteer spots available\, click “Sign Up” to get on our waitlist for this project! \nWaitlist Signups: 0 \nSign Up×Sign UpOops!

From camp\, the crew will work on a three-mile section of trail heading north toward the road on a route that has not been maintained in some time and will likely require extensive brushing. \nThe Trapper Creek Trail is an important connector that completes a full loop around Upper Priest Lake by linking to the Navigation Trail. It is also part of the Idaho Centennial Trail (ICT)\, a nearly 1\,000-mile route spanning the state that ITA helps maintain. Throughout the weekend\, youth will focus on brushing\, cutting logs\, and general trail clearing while learning safe tool use\, teamwork\, and trail work fundamentals. Crew members will also share responsibility for camp life and practice Leave No Trace principles while enjoying a remote\, wilderness-style camping experience. \nITA’s youth projects are completely free for volunteers to join\, and all food is provided.

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.

The crew will be based at the Queens River Trailhead\, camping beneath rugged granite peaks and dense forest\, with the river close by and sweeping Sawtooth views in every direction. Each day\, participants will head out to work on trail and return to camp in the evenings to relax\, share meals\, and take in one of Idaho's most scenic and remote landscapes.  \nTrail work will primarily involve cutting out downed logs and restoring passability along these routes- work that is both physically demanding and deeply rewarding. There is always more to clear in this area\, and the crew will contribute to a multi-year effort to reopen the full Queens River loop\, with additional ITA crews continuing later in the season. With guidance from crew leaders\, youth will also take part in daily camp life\, including meal setup and cleanup\, supporting the volunteer cook\, managing water and sanitation\, and accounting for tools. Volunteers will learn and follow Leave No Trace principles and project safety expectations while building practical skills\, teamwork\, and confidence in a true wilderness setting.   \nITA's youth projects are completely free for volunteers to join\, and all food is provided. Gear can be borrowed from ITA if needed with advance notice\, or youth may apply for scholarships to purchase gear they need through the Splattski Outdoor Access Fund.   \nProject information is subject to change.
