Project Name: Mud Creek
Project Dates: August 16
This one-day project takes place on the Mud Creek Trail near Beetop Roundtop Trail. We’ll start at Lightening Creek Road and hike 5.6 miles, gaining 2,400 feet of elevation to reach Rattle Ridge. Along the way, we’ll enjoy stunning views of Lake Pend Oreille, the mountains and valleys of northern Idaho, northwest Montana, and even British Columbia. We’ll be focused on clearing the trail and performing maintenance tasks to keep this scenic route in top shape for future hikers. It’s a great chance to enjoy the outdoors while giving back to the trail system.
