Clearing Glacier View Mountain Trail #381, May 16, 2022 – W. K. Walker (full res version)

It’s done! Finally! Here’s the official announcement . . .

The North Fork Trails Association (NFTA) and the Flathead National Forest now have a Challenge Cost Share Agreement wherein we plan to do collaborative stewardship for the trails system in the North Fork of the Flathead area. North Fork Trails will cooperate with the Flathead Forest to track conditions of trails, maintain trails and trail signs, and provide trail awareness and education to visitors to the trail system, including the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. The forest is providing funding to NFTA so that its members can perform this trail stewardship work in coordination with the forest. We are really proud of the work we have done together and want to share this success with others.
