Project Name: Needles – Kennally – Veterans
Dates: August 15-17
ITA’s Veterans Program provides a supportive environment where active duty and retired ser-vice members can engage in mission-focused public land stewardship. This program offers veterans the opportunity to learn valuable trail maintenance skills while finding camaraderie with fellow veterans who share a love for the outdoors.
We’ll car camp at the serene Kennally Creek Campground along the creek in a mature forest. The trailhead starts right at camp and we’ll work up the Needles Summit Trail as it climbs high up to a ridge, traveling past White Rock and Stump Lake to Needles Summit. The first mile and a half from camp get more regular maintenance but past the trail junction we can expect some fun crosscut work!
