TrailaPalooza! was one of S/C Trails’ early cooperative, multi-user trail work events.
In August 2016, over 30 volunteers from across Idaho gathered at BLM’s Morgan Bar Campground for a 2-day camp-out, where they shared meals, played games, learned about trail work safety and planned out the weekend of work together. Participating volunteers completed singletrack trail work designed to reduce erosion and accommodate a variety of trail users (hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, and singletrack motorized users) on approximately 10 miles of US Forest Service Trail along Carmen Creek, Twin Creeks, and Sheep Creek Trails.
Another major bonus of this TrailaPalooza! event? Along the Carmen Creek trail, work was done to improve access to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. This is especially valuable, because Lemhi County was recently designated as one of the latest Continental Divide Gateway Communities.
For those people who love our Salmon Challis Trails and want to contribute in a different way, your donation can help us by:
· Providing match. The Salmon Challis Trails Group has been working with Lemhi County in applying for Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grants and we must cover 20% of the cost. By making a tax deductible donation you, the trail user, ensure these projects move forward.
· Supporting volunteers. YEP maintains a trailer with tools for volunteers. We also provide items like T-shirts, hats, water bottles, and food at our volunteer workdays.
· Training. Donations will help us provide first aid, CPR, saw training and more to ensure the safety and well-being of our trail stewards.
