Project Description
You can help a PNTA Performance Trail Crew maintain the PNT in the Eastern Pasayten Wilderness by providing pack support. Our trail crews work in the backcountry for 7–10 days at a time. With your help we can empower our hardworking crew to spend more time and energy on trail work!
On this pack-in trip volunteers will load up with gear and supplies, and depart from the Goodenough Trailhead early on Saturday morning.
Our trek is eight miles (one way) with 1600′ in elevation to the spike camp at Louden Lake. The crew will be working to restore the Boundary Trail in an area that was impacted by the 2023 Crater Creek Fire.
Considering the long journey we have ahead of us, volunteers should plan to arrive the evening before, or spend the night in the area. A fee-free campground is available just down the road from our trailhead.
This long journey is best suited for equestrian stock support, who will be our first priority to recruit. But backpackers are welcome to sign up as reservists to offer their support in the absence of equestrian volunteers. Backpacks can be provided upon request.
Other Ways to Volunteer
If a long hike into the wilderness is not for you, but you would still like to get involved, we would welcome volunteers who can serve as a Tailgate Host— to prepare food and greet these weary helpers with a warm meal at the end of a long trek.
