Project Name: Sixteen to One Creek Bridge Construction – Youth

Dates: August 7-9

ITA's Youth Trail Crew Program provides opportunities for youth ages 14-18 to learn about the outdoors while building and maintaining hiking trails in a safe, teamwork-oriented environment. 

ITA youth volunteers and partners will be working together to replace trail bridges on the Sixteen to One Trail in the Boise National Forest. South of Warm Lake, four bridges burned in the first two miles during the 2024 Goat Fire.  This trail is used by all user groups so having bridges is much appreciated not just from hikers, but also the two wheeled and four-legged communities that would frequent these trails!

This is a beautiful drive along the South Fork Salmon River that climbs over passes and through meadows to the destination at the end of Stolle Meadows Road. We'll car camp here and hike up to 1.5 miles one way into the project site

ITA's youth projects are completely free for volunteers to join, and all food is provided. Gear can be borrowed from ITA if needed with advance notice, or youth may apply for scholarships to purchase gear they need through the Splattski Outdoor Access Fund
