The trailhead begins directly from camp\, allowing the crew to work straight from camp each day. Volunteers will work up the Needles Summit Trail as it climbs steadily toward a high ridge\, passing White Rock and Stump Lake on the way to Needles Summit. While the first mile and a half of trail receives more regular maintenance\, beyond the trail junction the crew can expect more engaging work\, including crosscut sawing and brushing in less-maintained sections.  \nThroughout the project\, participants will focus on trail maintenance tasks such as brushing\, saw work\, and improving trail tread. Crew members will also share responsibility for camp life\, including setting up camp\, maintaining clean and organized common areas\, managing tools\, and following Leave No Trace principles. Youth will build teamwork\, communication\, and leadership skills while practicing trail safety and learning what it takes to care for public lands.  \nITA'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.   \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 ourFAQs\, reach out to your crew leader\, or contact ITA staff at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org if you have questions.  \nTrails: Needles Summit Trail #101  \nItinerary: This is a three-day weekend project. Meet Friday afternoon to set up camp\, review trail work basics\, and go over safety expectations. Saturday will be a full day of trailwork. On Sunday\, the crew will wrap up work in the morning\, clean up camp\, and head home.   \nFood Provided by ITA: Yes – Cook  \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Car Camping\, Food Provided   \nCrew Leader: Tom Crawford and Brenda Magnuson   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 1 hour from McCall  \nTrail Map: Click for trail map and elevation profile  \nYouth Trip Selection:   \nYouth trip sign-ups will be open until March 22nd. Although early sign-ups will be prioritized\, ITA leadership and staff may adjust the final crews to maximize trip experience and provide opportunities for the greatest number of youth participants. To help facilitate trip assignments\, please sign up for your preferred trip and include alternate trips you could participate in\, should the preferred trip not be available. You will receive notification of trip assignment via email prior to March 31st.  \nDifficulty Rating:  \nHike: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – Approximately 1.5 miles to the start of project work. The trail is uphill but not overly steep\, with about 2\,500 feet of elevation gain over 5.5 miles to the summit. Youth will carry day packs and tools. See the linked map for the elevation profile.  \nProject Work: 4/5 Strenuous – Expect lots of brushing and saw work while carrying packs and tools. This project requires sustained physical effort and comfort working on uneven terrain.  \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.

The trailhead starts right at camp\, and we'll work up the Needles Route Pack 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! The crew may also find some larger water drainage issues\, and can address this by digging new\, or clearing existing drains on the first few miles of the trail before it climbs higher. This area hosts a network of motorized and nonmotorized trails reaching peaks and lakes for exploring all over this section of the Salmon River Mountains.  \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.  \nTrails: Needles Route Pack Trail #101  \nItinerary: This is a four-day project. Meet Wednesday afternoon/evening\, if possible\, to set up camp and go over trail work basics and safety. Thursday – Saturday\, work full days on the trails. Sunday\, wrap up trail work in the morning\, clean up camp\, and head home.   \nFood Provided by ITA: No   \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Car Camping\, Bring Your Own Food    \nCrew Leader: Alisa and Gregg Rettschlag and Dan Appel   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 1 hour from McCall  \nTrail Map: Click for trail map and elevation profile   \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 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.   \nDifficulty Rating  \nHike: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – 1.5 miles to that start of the project work. Uphill but a steady and shaded incline. 2500 feet of elevation gain over the 5.5 miles to the top. Carrying day packs and tools. See the linked map for the elevation profile.   \nProject Work: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – Saw work and brushing expected\, potential for tread or drainage work as needed. Carrying packs and tools.  \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 Waitlist Sign-up\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n This is a waitlist signup form not a signup to register for the project.
