These all-female trail crews provide a unique space for volunteers to work together\, gain hands-on experience in trail maintenance\, and make a lasting impact on Idaho's public lands.  \nITA volunteers will continue to chip away at clearing the Queens River loop as part of a long-term effort by the Forest Service\, ITA\, Selway-Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation and the Pulaski Users Group. Continuing our efforts over the last few years\, we will start on the Little Queens River side\, backpacking and moving camp up as we work up the trail. This beautiful loop\, on the less traveled side of the Sawtooth Wilderness\, is a gem. Large sections have been logged out in the last few years\, but the 2013 fire through here means no shortage of trees continue to fall. Back-to-back ITA crews will clear logs and cut back brush where it obscures the trail.   \nStarting from the Queens River Trailhead near Atlanta\, Idaho\, we'll backpack into camp at the junction of the Scenic Lake Trail. Depending on trail conditions\, we may stay here for the duration or bump camp further up once during the project. On the last day\, we'll hike out and swap out camp with the second backpacking crew coming in after us!  \nMore info on All Trails (for the whole loop)  \nProject information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email.

You must read the entire project and difficulty description before applying.   \nThis fly-in project will drop volunteers deep in the backcountry for an extended project working on trails in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Starting from Cold Meadows backcountry airstrip\, we'll work on clearing up the Cottonwood Creek Trail. We'll work on a reroute in one of the meadows the trail passes through\, around a section flooded by beavers\, started last year. The crew will also work on clearing the trail toward Black Lake and beyond\, with potential to bump camp along as work allows.   \nThe Cottonwood Creek Trail connects with several other trails to form trail loops through meadows\, up and over ridges\, and past several peaks and lakes. ITA has been working on clearing trails in this area for many years now\, with no shortage of downfall each year. This is a great opportunityto work in a very remote area of the Frank Church and help preserve a remote trail system.   \nITA is partnering with the Selway Bitterroot Frank Church Wilderness Foundation\, who will also have a crew out for the duration. We'll camp separately and be working on different sections of trail but there may be opportunity for some inter-crew socialization and support on the project work. Having these projects at the same time allows us to maximize pack support opportunities for both crews in this very remote area!  \nFlying in and out of Cascade\, we'll have pack support available to bring some of our camping gear\, food\, and tools into a base camp near the confluence of Farrow and Cottonwood Creek\, about 6 miles of easy hiking. Halfway through\, a food resupply will be flown into the airstrip\, and the crew will hike back to get it. At the end of the project\, pack support returns to bring gear back to the airstrip for a flight back home early the last day. As the crew progresses further\, we may decide it's best to move our camp closer to work; pack support is not available to bump camp\, so this will be backpacking.   \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: Cottonwood Creek Trail #41\, Black Lake Trail # 238  \nItinerary: This is a 15-day project. Volunteers will join a pre-trip Zoom meeting/planning session in the months prior to the trip. Pack support in and out of a backcountry camp\, with a self-supported backpacking trip further up the trail as work allows.   \nFood Provided by ITA: No   \nGear Packing List: More information about planning extended backcountry trips will be available to the crew Gear Checklist for Backpacking Projects  \nCrew Leader: Glenn Florence and Michelle Florence   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: Flying from Cascade  \nTrail Map: Click for trail map and elevation profile   \nRefundable deposit: $50 - Due if selected as a volunteer   \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.   \n Difficulty Rating  \nThe difficulty on the project is not so much the distance or work\, but the duration of the experience! You do not have to be an expert thru hiker or seasoned trail crew veteran to join\, but you must be willing to participate in the pre-trip preparation to ensure your success and safety.   \nExperience with backpacking and being in good hiking condition with broken-in and tested gear is mandatory for this project. 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. It is expected that volunteers will begin training for this project upon acceptance.   \nYou will be asked to prepare fifteen days' worth of backcountry meals prior to leaving. Crew leaders can help advise during the pre-trip meetings\, but ultimately you are responsible for your food.  \nIf having the right gear to be safe and comfortable is a limiting factor\, volunteers may apply for scholarships to purchase gear they need through the Splattski Outdoor Access Fund.  \nYou will be spending fifteen days with no access to any normal comforts\, no hot showers or bathrooms\, sleeping on the ground\, rain or shine\, etc. It will be awesome and life-changing!  \nYou will be out of direct contact with friends and family for fifteen days. In an emergency\, either at home or in the field\, there is no quick way to return to civilization. In the event of an emergency\, crew leaders will have satellite messengers to coordinate evacuation if necessary.  \nFlexibility is also very important\, as trail projects of this length rarely go perfectly according to Plan A. You will be expected to work together as a crew and\, if necessary\, through InReach contact with the Forest Service and ITA staff\, to help brainstorm solutions and overcome obstacles as a team.   \nReading all required information\, communicating with your crew leaders\, and arriving at the project 100% prepared is crucial to this project. Crew leaders reserve the right to ask you not to participate at the trailhead if they feel you show up unprepared (for example\, brand new boots out of the box not broken in or arriving with not enough food).  \nYou must be ready and willing to commit to the entire 15 days. Having folks bail right before the trip or after just a few days dramatically and unfairly impacts the rest of the crew.   \nGet a bonus point for reading by putting "I promise I read the description!" in the first section of your application. I know it's a lot of information\, but we want folks to take the risks of an extended trip seriously!  \nHike: 4/5 Strenuous – Six miles from the airstrip to the base camp. Downhill into camp. Past camp\, the hike gets more strenuous as the trail climbs up and over the ridge above Black Lake. See the linked map for the elevation profile. \nProject Work: 4/5 Strenuous – Improving tread\, and creek crossings when needed.

Camping right at the trailhead allows the crew to work directly from camp each day\, focusing on trail maintenance along a popular route known for its excellent fishing opportunities and steady visitor use. With the 444 Road graded last summer\, the drive in from Grangeville is straightforward\, making access easy while still feeling truly backcountry. The project will emphasize crosscut saw work\, with plenty of opportunities to remove downed logs and keep this well-loved trail open and passable.  \nThroughout the project\, participants will focus on hands-on trail maintenance tasks such as crosscut sawing\, brushing\, and improving trail tread\, while also sharing responsibility for camp life. Youth will help with setting up and maintaining camp\, managing tools\, keeping common areas clean\, and following Leave No Trace principles.   \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: Hump Trail #313  \nItinerary: This is a four-day project. The crew will meet Thursday afternoon to set up and go over trail and project safety. On Friday and Saturday\, participants will work along the Slate Lake Trail\, focusing on trail maintenance tasks and returning to camp each evening. On Sunday\, the crew will break down and clean up camp before waiting to be picked up that afternoon.   \nFood Provided by ITA: Yes – Cook   \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Car Camping\, Food Provided   \nCrew Leader: Val Armichardy and James Grantham   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 2 hours from Grangeville  \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:  \nHike: 2/5 Easy to Moderate – This project is car-camp based\, with daily hikes from camp to the work site. The trail follows gentle creek corridors and forested slopes with minimal elevation gain. Participants should be prepared for uneven terrain while carrying day packs\, water\, and basic tools.  \nProject Work: 3/5 Moderate – The work will focus on crosscut saw work\, brushing\, and trail tread improvement\, including removing downed logs and clearing rocks or debris. While physically engaging\, the tasks are manageable for motivated youth and provide a good introduction to backcountry trail maintenance.  \nVolunteer Spots Available: 96 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 Up\n \n \n Project Sign-Up\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Please submit one form for each person in your group.

Continuing our efforts over the last few years\, we will start on the Little Queens River side\, backpacking and moving camp up as we work up the trail. This beautiful loop\, on the less traveled side\, is a gem of the Sawtooth Wilderness. Large sections have been logged out in the last few years\, but the 2013 fire through here means no shortage of trees continue to fall. Back-to-back ITA crews will clear logs and cut back brush where it obscures the trail.   \nStarting from the Queens River Trailhead near Atlanta\, Idaho\, we'll have pack support to haul tools and gear into our first camp\, swapping out with the ITA crew hiking out! Trail conditions\, and progress of the previous crew will dictate where we camp. The tentative camp is at the junction with Browns Lake\, about 8.5 miles up the trail. Depending on the work we find out there\, we may stay here for the duration or bump camp further up (no pack support for this part) once during the project. On the last day\, we'll hike out and head home!   \nMore info on All Trails (for the whole loop)  \nProject information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email.

The trail winds through old-growth forest\, high ridge lines\, meadows\, alpine lakes\, and hiking along the Wild & Scenic St. Joe River\, offering a stunning setting for a week of stewardship.  \nOver the course of the week\, we'll return to the loop to continue clearing downed logs\, brushing\, and restoring tread\, so the trail remains accessible and enjoyable for hikers and backpackers. The Bean–Bacon loop is known for its scenic variety — towering pines\, mossy streams\, mountain views\, and open meadows — making this an unforgettable place to work and explore.  \nWe'll establish a backcountry base camp with pack support\, with the exact campsite to be determined based on how far the first project group progresses. From camp\, we'll organize into work groups each day to tackle trail maintenance needs. Expect hands-on maintenance — no specialized experience is required\, and tools and guidance will be provided — along with plenty of time to enjoy the setting and camaraderie of a multi-day trail crew.  \nThis is a unique opportunity to experience a supported wilderness camp and help steward a stunning backcountry trail alongside fellow volunteers.  \nMore Information: All Trails for the Bean Bacon Loop   \nProject information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email.

The crew will have access to the cabin\, with space for some youth to sleep indoors and additional tent camping nearby. A dedicated camp cook will join us and provide all meals\, creating a comfortable basecamp where participants can focus on learning\, working hard\, and enjoying time together in the woods.  \nFrom camp\, the crew will work on the nearby Halsey Creek Trail\, a scenic route that follows the creek through shaded forest and provides access to the surrounding backcountry. This section of the trail will require brushing\, log removal\, and tread improvements to maintain safe and sustainable passage. Throughout the week\, youth will practice safe tool use\, teamwork\, and trail maintenance fundamentals while also sharing responsibility for camp life and following Leave No Trace principles. Their efforts will help keep this important access route open for hikers and future visitors.  \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: Halsey Creek Trail #451  \nItinerary: This is a five-day project. We will meet Wednesday at the Magee Cabin\, spending the evening setting up and getting settled. Thursday\, Friday\, and Saturday will be full trail workdays out on Halsey Creek\, returning to the cabin each evening. On Sunday\, pack up and be ready for pickup in the early afternoon.   \nFood Provided by ITA: Yes – Cook   \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Car Camping\, Food Provided   \nCrew Leaders: Barbara Summit and Phil Hough  \nEstimated Hike Time from Trailhead to Camp:   \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:  \nHike: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous The first couple of miles remain relatively flat as the trail follows the creek\, then begin to climb with a series of switchbacks up the ridge toward the upper trailhead. Volunteers will carry day packs and tools while hiking to and from the work site each day.  \nProject Work: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous Project tasks will include a mix of log cutting and brushing to improve trail access.

Starting from Chamberlain backcountry airstrip\, we'll backpack north along the Chambelain Trail\, working towards Hida Point. As work and time allow\, we hope to continue working and bumping camp along the Arctic Point\, White Bird Meadow\, Hida Ridge\, and Harlan Meadows trails.   \nThese trails connect to form a loop through meadows\, up and over ridges\, through burned areas and lush green trees. ITA has been working on clearing trails in this area for many years now\, with no shortage of downfall each year. This crew will be continuing off the work of the Wilderness Immersion projects in 2023 and 2025. All parts of this loop have been touched by ITA in the last few years\, and this crew hopes to connect all the work! This is a great opportunity to work in a very remote area of the Frank Church and help preserve a remote trail system.   \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: Chambelain Trail #1\, Arctic Point #25\, White Bird Meadow #29\, Hida Ridge #27\, and Harlan Meadows #28 trails.  \nItinerary: This is a Sunday-Saturday weeklong project.

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: Reynolds Creek #6157\, Cayuse Creek #6166\, and Horse Creek #6159  \nItinerary: This is a Sunday-Saturday weeklong project. Sunday\, meeting in the afternoon to set up camp. Project work Monday-Friday\, with a day off as needed to relax or explore. Saturday\, wrap up any work\, pack 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: 2.5 hours from North Fork  \nTrail Map: Click for trail map and elevation profile for each Reynolds Creek\, Cayuse Creek\, and Horse Creek trails.   \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 reservations. 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.   \nHike: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous –  Each trail has some elevation gain and loss\, but only Cayuse climbs steeply. Depending on trail conditions and how far we can work\, no more than three miles of hiking one way per day is expected. See the linked map for the elevation profile.  \nProject Work: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – Saw work and brushing\, with some digging and swinging tools.

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: Upper Yellow Jacket Creek #6038  \nItinerary: This is a Sunday-Saturday weeklong project. Sunday\, meeting in the afternoon to set up camp. Project work Monday-Friday\, with a day off as needed to relax or explore. Saturday\, wrap up any work\, pack up camp\, and head home!  \nFood Provided by ITA: Yes  \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Car Camping\, Food Provided    \nCrew Leader: Barry Miller\, Chris Keilty\, and Matt McDonagh    \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 3 hours form Challis  \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 reservations. 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 – Starting from the road\, the trail drops down into the creek bed\, losing 1400 feet of elevation over 5 miles. Longer hikes into work each day\, and uphill back to camp. Tools and day packs are carried into work each day. See the linked map for the elevation profile.  \nProject Rating: 4/5 Strenuous – This project will be focused on logout and brushing. This area burned in 2024 Red Rock Fire\, about three miles from the trailhead. Lots of down trees are expected for repeated saw work; some treadwork may also be needed.   \nVolunteer Spots Available: 96 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 Up\n \n \n Project Sign-Up\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Please submit one form for each person in your group.
