Looking down Barr Gulch Trail #168, which was also recently cut out.
The Castle Rock Trail #140 was recently cut out by local motorcyclist volunteers. They also cut out Osberg Ridgeline Trail #147 from its east end at the East Fork Baker Creek Road to its intersection with Castle Rock Trail. The only leg of the Osberg Ridgeline Trail that has not been cut out yet is the section that leads up from the Baker Creek Trailhead to the trail’s intersection with the Castle Rock Trail.
Youth Corps Crews move mountains!
The Ketchum Ranger District has been leading an Idaho Youth Corps Crew on maintenance projects out East Fork, in Federal Gulch and Timber Draw. Also, in Deer Creek, the KRD crew has been working on the washed out creek crossing at the intersection of Curran #160 and Deer Creek Trail #158. Today, Thursday, the crew is packing in bridge parts to make repairs to the footbridge at the north end of Lane’s Trail #316 (near to its intersection with Citizens #143). On Friday the KRD crew is hosting volunteers with Great Old Broads for Wilderness on maintenance of the Adams Rib Trail #142 and the Lake Creek Connector Trail #321.
There is a permitted media mountain biking event taking place on area trails on June 26-28. Group rides will be conducted for the event’s participants.
