Service Project Details

Panther Creek Hot Springs and Salmon River Wild and Scenic Trails. Come camp along Panther Creek as our volunteer crew makes improvements to area trails. We’ll spend the week in this beautiful area working on the Panther Creek Hot Springs Trail and the Salmon River Wild and Scenic Trails. The USFS will show the group a variety of trails and the best there is to offer along both of these working trails. Spring boasts green hillsides and arrowleaf balsamroot is in full bloom.

Volunteers will need to be able to hike up to 4 miles daily with ~1,500′ elevation change. Our volunteer crew will tent camp near cars at a nearby dispersed campground.
