In the Selkirk Mountains above Bonners Ferry, ITA, along with the Forest Service, will spend a weekend working on a new hiking and mountain biking trail under construction. Starting near the upper trailhead off Snow Creek Road, volunteers will help polish up a recently built trail, establish new tread, and brush and clear the trail corridor. Once complete, this trail will go from Kootenai Wildlife to switchback up to Kootenai Ridge and along to Cooks Peak.
Project 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.

Refundable deposit: $25
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.
