Join FSPW and Kootenai National Forests trail crews on South Fork Ross Creek Trail #321 for a single day of trail clearing and tread work. Tools and beverages provided by FSPW. The goal is to clear a big mess of hemlocks blocking the trail just above Ross Creek Falls, a mess made during the 2006 floods. We will be using cross-cut saws as well as axes and pulaskis.
We will carpool to the trailhead, which is at the Ross Creek Cedars off of Montana Highway 56 in Lincoln County. We will begin from the parking lot at 9 a.m. Pacific time, 10 a.m. Mountain, and return late afternoon or early evening. This will be a full day with about 10 miles of strenuous hiking carrying tools. There is an option to camp near the work site on Friday night and hike out on Saturday morning.
As with all trail work days, please wear stout boots and denim pants (no shorts), and come prepared with a long-sleeved shirt, rain gear, a good lunch, water and high-energy snacks. Sign up at trails@scotchmanpeaks.org
