Project Description

While the Fourth of July Ridge trail will still be closed for hazard mitigation following the Walker-Spur fire, the north face of Bonaparte— with its peek-a-views of the Okanogan Highlands— will be open and ready to receive some TLC. Join a PNTA crew maintaining the PNT at Cabin TR 303 and Antoine TR 304.

Help clear a path thru the PNT by joining this log out party as a “swamper” who follows behind a PNTA sawyer, rolling log rounds and tossing branches off the trail. Crew members also use loppers or handsaws to trim back brush, saplings and branches growing in the corridor, and dirt work tools to spot repair the tread and clear drains along the way. 

No trail crew experience necessary: the PNTA provides tools, personal protective equipment, and training. Just bring yourself, your camp gear and daypack, and a thirst for a rewarding work-based learning experience on the trail!
