Project Description
Help our Performance Crews maintain the PNT in the Salmo-Priest Wilderness by providing pack support. For those interested in supporting work on the PNT, this is a great way to get involved without doing trail work.
Our trail crews work in the backcountry for 7–10 days at a time. You can help them direct more time and energy to the work itself by helping them pack out from a basecamp near their worksite. Volunteers will trek in 6.25 miles to meet the crew at their backcountry camp on the PNT, then help them ruck gear back to the trailhead.
With your help, we can empower our hardworking trail crews to spend more time catching up on trail maintenance on the PNT system.
Volunteers will depart from Red Bluff Trailhead 553 early Friday morning, August 2nd, to arrive at at the backcountry basecamp around 12:00.
Considering our early start and the long hike we have ahead of us, volunteers traveling from afar are encouraged to arrive the day before to spend the night in the area. Volunteers are welcome to stay with PNTA staff at a dispersed camp a short drive from the trailhead.
Backpacks can be provided upon request.
