This 41\,335-acre wilderness\, located in the Selkirk Mountains\, is known for its pristine forests\, rugged terrain\, and critical habitat for boreal woodland caribou—the last remaining population in the contiguous United States.  \nDuring this project\, volunteers will backpack through the wilderness to assess trail conditions\, including tread\, brush\, and downed trees\, gathering information that will guide future maintenance and stewardship efforts. This is an excellent opportunity to experience a truly remote wilderness area while contributing to long-term trail planning and conservation.  \nParticipants should be prepared for backcountry travel\, carrying personal and group gear\, and spending multiple days in a wilderness setting. This project is ideal for volunteers who enjoy backpacking\, navigation\, and hands-on stewardship in a pristine\, off-the-beaten-path environment.  \nProject 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.  \nTrail: Many trails in the Salmo Priest Wilderness\, route TBD  \nItinerary: Arrive at the Jackson Creek Trailhead (trailhead could be changed) on Wednesday evening. The crew will hike in on Thursday morning. Crew leader will specify the meeting time and place in their pre-trip emails.  \nFood Provided by ITA: No   \nGear Packing List:  Gear Checklist for Backpacking Projects  \nCrew Leader: Zac Nichols  \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 2 hours from Sandpoint\, Idaho   \nTrail Map:  TBD  \nRefundable deposit: $50  \nWhy 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 reservations. 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.   \nDifficulty Rating  \nYou 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.   \nHike 5/5 Very Strenuous- The conditions will vary throughout the four days; this will require climbing over many fallen trees and climbing 2\,500ft elevation gain per day. Crew members will carry their own gear\, food\, and water.  \nProject Work: 1/5 Easy – No specific trail duties aside from notetaking and picture taking.  \nVolunteer Spots Available: 0 of \nIf there are no volunteer spots available\, click “Sign Up” to get on our waitlist for this project! \nWaitlist Signups: 0 \nSign Up×Sign Up\n\n \n \n Waitlist Sign-up\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n This is a waitlist signup form not a signup to register for the project.
