Volunteer Trail Work Project

2024 Purjue Canyon – Shoofly Side

Loading Events

Purjue Canyon is a beautiful place to explore in the Owyhee Canyonlands and ITA has been working on the Purjue Canyon trail, one of the few trails that access the Little Jacks Wilderness, for several years.

Throughout the year, this trail becomes thickly overgrown with sagebrush, cottonwood, willow, wild rose, and many plants and grasses. Through the canyon and past old homesteads, we will work to brush and improve tread as far as we can, with another group starting at the other end and working towards us.

More info can be found on All Trails.
