Project Name: 20 Mile Lakes
Project Dates: July 31 – August 2
We'll meet at the trailhead off Warren Wagon Road north of McCall and backpack 6 miles to camp near 20 Mile Lakes. From here, we'll set up camp and begin working back down improving the trail as we go, cutting out any logs, brushing and light tread work. This project will be working near the 20 Mile Lakes – Women in the Wild Backpacking 101 project, and the two groups will try to meet in the middle on the trail!

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.
Difficulty Rating
You should have experience with backpacking and be in good hiking condition with broken-in and tested gear. This is a remote backcountry project so injuries such as sprains and blisters or even extreme fatigue from not being properly conditioned can quickly become a big safety issue. If you are unsure about the proper gear or about preparing for a trip, please reach out to trails@idahotrailsassociation.org.
