SUMMARY:Backpacking among Oregon’s Glacial Lakes and Wild and Scenic Rivers\, Eagle Cap Wilderness\, OR (Backpacking Trip)
DESCRIPTION:Backpacking among Oregon’s Glacial Lakes and Wild and Scenic Rivers! \nJoin this popular backcountry backpacking project in the stunning Eagle Cap Wilderness! \nThe Eagle Cap Wilderness lies in the heart of the Wallowa Mountains in northeastern Oregon on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. \nVolunteers on the 2025 Eagle Cap Wilderness Volunteer Vacation will perform trail maintenance on the West Fork Wallowa trail. This is a heavily-used access trail to the Lakes Basin Management Area which includes destinations such as Ice Lake\, Mirror Lake\, and Glacier Lake. Work may include: clearing brush from the trail using loppers and pruning saws\, clearing fallen trees using hand saws and/or crosscut saws\, and maintaining or installing drainage structures using shovels\, picks\, Pulaskis\, and other hand tools. \nWe highly recommend prior backpacking experience to participate on this trip. \nThere is no trail experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace. Find out more about what it’s like to join a Volunteer Vacation and other frequently asked questions here.

SUMMARY:Special Registration Rate! Eagle Cap Wilderness\, OR - Volunteer Vacation 2024
DESCRIPTION:USE CODE: 2024EagleCapVV for a special registration fee of $250 thanks to grant funding received for this project. To register at this price please select “First Trip of the Year” registration cost. Additional trip discount not available for this special rate. \nJoin this popular trip and head into the Hurricane Creek drainage in the Eagle Cap Wilderness! \nThe Eagle Cap Wilderness lies in the heart of the Wallowa Mountains in northeastern Oregon on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The Hurricane Creek trail is a major access point for hikers and horses into the Eagle Cap Wilderness. View massive granite and limestone cliffs\, waterfalls\, and an abundance of wildflowers along the trail. Gradually climb across subalpine meadows alternating with timbered areas. This route will provide panoramic views of Sacajawea\, Matterhorn and Eagle Cap Peaks. Cross-country hiking in and around the basin provides spectacular views and photographic opportunities. \nVolunteers will work on constructing trail drainage structures such as water bars to prevent erosion\, installing check dams to reclaim sections of incised tread\, constructing a turnpike to get through a wet/muddy area\, clearing brush out of the trail corridor and restoration of campsites and/or fire rings near Echo and Billy Jones Lakes. Volunteers will depart from Hurricane Creek Trailhead and backpack into basecamp near the confluence of Billy Jones and Hurricane Creeks. Pack stock will carry all food and group gear\, giving volunteers time for a 4.5 mi hike with 1200 ft of gain. Volunteers will hike 1-5 miles daily with elevation gain of up to 3000 ft on backcountry trails. Volunteers may choose to drive their own vehicle or be transported in a Forest Service vehicle to the trailhead. Hurricane Creek Trailhead is about 10 miles from the initial meeting location in Enterprise\, OR and is accessible by passenger vehicle. Parking is limited so carpooling to the trailhead is encouraged. \nDuring this trip\, Eagle Cap Wilderness has an average high temperature of 83°\, and average low temperature of 58°. \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace. Find out more about what it’s like to join a Volunteer Vacation and other frequently asked questions here. \nAHS acknowledges with gratitude that this project takes place on the traditional lands of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation\, Cayuse\, Umatilla and Walla Walla\, and Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) peoples past and present. We honor the land itself\, the Indigenous communities who have stewarded this land for generations\, their deep and sacred connection to these lands\, and those who continue to steward these lands today. We offer this land acknowledgement as the first of many steps to stand as an ally and amplify Indigenous voices. We invite the American Hiking Society community to join us through continued efforts to support Indigenous communities and learn more about the history of the lands on which we live\, work and recreate. \nClick here for a PDF of trip details.

SUMMARY:Eagle Cap Wilderness\, OR - Volunteer Vacations 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join this popular trip and head into the upper Imnaha River drainage in the Eagle Cap Wilderness! Volunteers will depart from the Indian Crossing Trailhead and backpack into a feature of the Imnaha River known as Blue Hole. Pack stock will carry all food and group gear\, giving us time for a 2-mile hike into base camp with 500 ft of elevation gain. Volunteers will need to carry their personal gear ONLY. \nThe trail provides spectacular views of the Imnaha River drainage along with views of the high alpine peaks of Wallowa Mountains. Work will include brushing and constructing trail drainage features such as water bars\, French drains\, and possibly turnpikes. Some lighter trail maintenance\, such as log-out and campsite rehabilitation\, may also be on the docket if time allows.  \nVolunteers will hike 1-3 miles with about 500 feet of elevation gain per workday\, traveling on backcountry trails and occasionally off trail. The Forest Service will provide transportation from the meeting location in Enterprise\, OR. Volunteers wishing to drive their own vehicles are welcome to\, or you can leave your vehicle at the Forest Service headquarters in Enterprise. Indian Crossing Trailhead is 45 miles from Enterprise on an entirely paved road. \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace.

SUMMARY:Eagle Cap Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:We’ll kick our trip off with a brief project overview at the Forest Service Barn in Enterprise\, followed by dinner at a local brew pub. There are several lodging options in town\, or you can pitch a tent at the Forest Service compound. Our base camp will be located on Huckleberry Mountain; work sites will include locations on those parts of trails 1667\, 1689 and 1665 that primarily access McCubbin Basin and the headwaters of Goat Creek. Our goal for the week will be to improve trail access and reduce sedimentation in streams. Specific projects will vary throughout the week and will include building and maintaining erosion control structures\, trail clearing (with crosscut saws)\, and brushing. Expect to use a variety of primitive tools\, ranging from bow saws & crosscuts for log-out to shovels and pulaskis for tread maintenance and restoration. Note that this is an arduous project in a spectacular backcountry setting—be prepared to earn your meals!
