Project Name: Moose Lake

Project Dates: July 19 

In the Cabinet Mountains, we will hike from the Moose Lake Trailhead up towards Moose Lake.  From here. we’ll work towards the top of Moose Mountain (elevation 6473’).  This trail has been severely overgrown, and we’ll work on removing brush and logs and repairing some deteriorated tread to keep this trail clear and safe for hikers.

ITA has been working on this loop in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest for several years now, including one day later this season toward Blacktail Lake. When clear, this trail makes a great day hike loop or easy overnight backpacking trip, complete with mountain lakes.  

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.
