Starting from the trailhead at Wildhorse Campground, volunteers will work up the Crystal Lake Trail toward North Pole Peak (8,800’). The trail climbs up a ridge, offering panoramic views of the Gospel Hump Wilderness. The crew will continue down the Tenmile Spur Trail, which drops into Tenmile Creek miles below. We’ll car camp at an established campground which sits above Wildhorse Lake.

Refundable deposit: $50
Why 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.
