This section gets cleared of logs each year\, so we're expecting to finish this stretch in this short amount of time. Several more ITA projects will benefit from the work we do this weekend\, as pack stock will be on this trail to support projects all summer long.   \nBeginner-friendly backpacking\, easy elevation hike\, beautiful views of the Selway with a quick overnight camp out in the wilderness\, and some meaningful trail work. What's not to love?!  \nMore info about the Selway River Trail can be found in this ITA trail spotlight\, written by a past crew leader!  \nProject information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email.
