Trinity Alps Trail Work

June 29, 2021 by Bigfoot Trail Alliance 3 Comments

June 19-26th, 2021

A crew of 15 adults and 4 kids spent a week working the Bigfoot Trail between Packer’s Peak and Fish Lake in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. This section of trail has not been formally maintained since 2010. Along the way, we maintained 9 miles of trail, logged out 50+ trees, and re-treaded about 3 miles of trail. Our group of volunteers donated over 1000 hours of time to this project, that was supported by the Klamath National Forest by way of pack support. Thanks to all involved — get out and take a hike on this great section of trail!

    Is there another trail work date set? I’d like to participate! But of course it depends upon the dates if I am available.

    […] have especially fond memories of BFTA’s 2021 Trinity Alps Wilderness trip based at Rush Creek Lake. Our basecamp was well off the beaten-track and very idyllic. We had the Lake to ourselves. […]
