Partnering with the Idaho Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, ITA is committing to help maintain the Lolo Trail National Historic Corridor. The Lolo Trail is the Nee Me Poo National Historic Trail plus the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and is about 90 miles long, spanning from the western end at Musselshell Meadows to Lolo Pass where it passes into Montana.
We’ll spend the day maintaining trails and interpretive signs. The trail follows along a ridgeline forming the divide between the Lochsa and North Fork Clearwater Rivers.
We’ll camp together at No-See-Um Meadows, a large site just east of Sherman Peak. We’ll be visited by local historians in the evenings for campfire chats. North of Highway 12, this densely forested mountain area is rich with history.
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: $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.
