SUMMARY:Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED due to COVID-19: \n  \nThe A-B Wilderness Foundation invites you to spend a week with us camping out in the backcountry and working on various projects benefiting the trails in the heart of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area of Montana. Far up the Boulder River which bisects the Absaroka and Beartooth ranges we will work on a network of trails rising out of the Fourmile Creek area. The Fourmile and Meatrack trails that lead up to Silver Pass and Silver Lake branch out from the meadows where we will camp\, and the first mile of each of them needs a combination of restoration and trail work. We will pull non-native houndstongue\, construct water bars\, build check dams and retaining walls out of stone and wood; and finish everything off by brushing the corridor. This is all-around quite strenuous work\, as we will be working with stone\, locally sourced logs\, and standard trail tools (shovels\, pulaskis\, picks\, crosscut saws). \nOur trip starts at the Frosty Freeze in Big Timber\, MT. From there we will carpool/caravan up the Main Boulder River to the Fourmile Trailhead. Only vehicles with higher clearance are recommended on this road. The first and last night of the trip\, the crew will camp at the Fourmile Trailhead. On Thursday morning our crew will hike in the 5 miles to basecamp and work out of there for the rest of the week. The Backcountry Horsemen will carry in our heavy stuff—food\, tools\, tents\, etc.—so volunteers only need to carry a day pack with their clothes and personal items.

SUMMARY:Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area
DESCRIPTION:The Boulder River drains the geographic heart of Montana’s 944\,000 acre Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area. A rugged dirt road that runs alongside it provides access to some of the wildest country in the entire wilderness\, including the ghost town of Independence\, the famed Lake Plateau\, Silver Lake\, and famous trout fishing. From our basecamp at Lake Kathleen\, five miles up the E. Fork Trail\, our group will do a wide variety of trailwork—improving and widening the existing trail\, getting rid of invasive weeds clearing trees\, and most of all cleaning and installing drainage structures (known as ‘waterbars’.  We will use all manner of trail tools\, such as Pulaskis\, cross-cut saws\, rakes\, and loppers. In general the work can be anywhere from moderate to quite strenuous in nature. We will be working between 8000 and 9000 feet in elevation. Each morning we will hike out from our camp at Lake Kathleen a mile or more to work. There are a couple of significant creek crossings (below the knees) that must be managed each way to work. All tools and personal protective equipment will be provided by the ABWF and the Forest Service. The trip will be led by a Trail Crew leader provided by the ABWF. This person is trained in Wilderness Medicine (First Responder)\, Leave no Trace principles\, and has extensive training and experience in trail building and maintenance. Their job is to facilitate a fun and safe volunteer experience for you. With your help\, they will make sure meals are prepared and that you are well fed\, and will teach you more about the local area\, flora and fauna\, and particularly about the Wilderness and issues facing our public lands. On every project\, we also work alongside one or more Forest Service trail crew leaders who will help supervise the technical aspects of the work at hand. The ABWF & Forest Service will have emergency communication devices available. This is grizzly country\, and while trip leaders will be equipped with canisters of bear repellent\, volunteers may want to bring their own bear spray for protection. \nThis trip is hosted and crew led by the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation.
