Volunteers will spend National Trails Day working on the Payette National Forest’s Shingle Flat Loop trail just a few minutes north of Council, Idaho. Work will focus mostly on improving the tread and cutting back intermittent patches of brush on the 2-mile loop trail and the 1.5 miles that runs north of the loop to the Shingle Flat dispersed camp area. This is a popular trail for day hikers, runners and local equestrians and offers beautiful views of the Council Valley. The wildflowers should be out on the open slopes, too!
