Project Name: Moores Lake
Dates: July 11-13
ITA is excited to host a weekend project in the Gospel Hump Wilderness! We will be working on the trail that leads down to Moores Lake, one of the largest lakes in the Gospel Hump, and maybe beyond depending on downfall. The trail starts at the road and descends the craggy, glaciated divide. This heavily-forested trails follows the creek and we’ll focus on log out and brushing.
We’ll camp near the trailhead, along the 444 road. This road is a main access corridor into the Gospel Hump Wilderness, with access to alpine lakes, past peaks (including Gospel Peak (8156’) of which this wilderness is named) and ends at Square Mountain. This weekend car camping projects is a great way to see the wonders of the Gospel Hump Wilderness. Come early or stay late to bag a peak, camp at a mountain lake, or explore a meadow – all accessible from the 444 road.

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.
