Lots of fun crosscut work is expected!   \nMore info on All Trails   \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: Alpine Way Trail #528  \nItinerary: This is a five-day project. We'll start hiking Wednesday morning to our base camp at Marshall Lake. Over the next few days we'll continue cutting along the trail\, moving camp once if work allows. Sunday\, pack up and head back to cars to go home!   \nFood Provided by ITA: No   \nGear Packing List: Gear Checklist for Backpacking Projects  \nCrew Leader: Jenny Turner and Dagmar Rapp   \nEstimated Drive Time from Closest Town: 15 minutes from Stanley  \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 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: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – Five miles with 1500 feet of elevation gain to Marshall Lake. Carrying all personal gear and tools. As far as backpacking in the Sawtooth's goes\, this trail has mild elevation gain\, but there is still an uphill climb into camp! See the linked map for the elevation profile.  \nProject Work: 3/5 Moderately Strenuous – Lots of saw work\, brushing\, and some tread work. Potentially some longer hikes into the worksite as we push further out\, but the Alpine Way Trail has minimal elevation gain and loss \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.
