Project Name:  Cook's Peak 

Project Dates: August 8 

Join us for a day of trail maintenance at Cook's Peak, a beautiful and rugged area known for its sweeping views and natural beauty. We'll focus on sections of the trail that need clearing, brushing, and minor repairs to keep it safe and enjoyable for hikers. This is a new trail, constructed just a couple of years ago, and is in need of some touch-up work with the exposed roots and water mitigation. This is a great opportunity to get outside, work with fellow volunteers, and help preserve an awesome new trail for the area. 

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.
