In the mountains north of Sandpoint, ITA is hosting a one-day project to improve tread on sections of the Fault Lake Trail. This trail leads to Fault Lake and McCormick Lake and is used often by hikers as well as equestrians. We will spend the day working on improving tread where the trail is sloughing off down the hill. The crew will be importing native material to reinforce this section about 3.5 miles from the trailhead.
This is a great day hike or overnight backpack trip for those wanting to explore the Alpine Lakes in the Selkirks. This section of trail is also part of the Idaho Centennial Trail, and ITA is committed to maintaining sections of this 1000-mile trail each year. Later in the season, we will also be hosting a crew to help open the trail between Fault and McCormick Lake.
More info can be found on All Trails.
