Gear will be packed into our backcountry camp along the Wild and Scenic Selway River. Starting from the Race Creek trailhead\, we'll hike about 12 miles to camp at Bar Creek on the Selway River Trail\, where we'll set up for the week. Each day\, we'll work higher up the ridge\, returning to camp each afternoon. At the end of the week\, pack stock will return to bring our gear back to camp.   \nThis section of the Selway is a great low-elevation\, early season trail\, very popular with hikers\, backpackers\, and equestrians. The Sixty-Two Ridge Trail climbs above the river\, connecting with several trails in the heart of the Selway- Bitterroot Wilderness. ITA worked on the switchbacks in 2025\, and this crew will continue to focus on improving the switchbacks that are beginning to slough off the hill\, as well as log out and brushing.  This crew's work will help support a Selway Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation Crew getting packed in later in the season.  This combined effort promises to make a big impact on this section of the ICT!   \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: Sixty-Two Ridge Trail #606  \nItinerary: This is a Sunday-Saturday weeklong project.  Meet at Race Creek Sunday morning to drop gear with packers and hike in. Welcome to car camp the evening before at the trailhead.  Monday-Friday\, working up Sixty-Two Ridge. Rest day as needed. Saturday pack stock returns to bring gear back to the trailhead.  \nFood Provided by ITA: No    \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Backpacking Projects with Pack Support  \nCrew Leader: Clay Jacobson    \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 1 hour 15 min from Kooskia  \nTrail Map:  Click for trail map and elevation profile for the Hike to Camp and the Sixtytwo Ridge Trail   \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  \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: 4/5 Strenuous – 12 miles into camp along the Selway River trail which has lots of ups and downs but not a lot of total elevation gain. Carrying day packs\, maybe some tools into camp. From camp\, Sixty-Two Ridge switchbacks steeply up the hill before leveling out along the ridge. See the linked maps for the elevation profile.  \nProject Work: 4/5 Strenuous – Focus on tread work\, with increasing climbs to work each day. Improving switchbacks\, digging\, and swinging tools. Some log out and brushing. The weather in May can be unpredictable\, so please pack accordingly!  \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.
