Moose Creek Tr No 9 trailhead, September 6, 2025 – W. K. Walker

On Saturday, August 8, starting at 8:30am, we’ll be working on Moose Creek Trail No. 9. This trail, along with a very short segment of Nasukoin Mtn Trail No. 375, is the eastern route to the Grizzly Inn, The primary objective is clearing the first 3.7 miles (6km), a section of old roadbed from the trailhead up to the point where the trail turns sharply and starts a 1.6 mile (2.6km) climb up the face of the ridge to the Grizzly Inn. The trail has already had some brushing out and downfall removal recently, but still has some larger obstructions requiring heavier tools and, no doubt, could use further general cleanup.

Departure is from the Walker’s at 8:30am or meet us at the T9 trailhead at the end of Moose Creek Road a little later. Bear spray, heavy gloves and safety glasses recommended. Contact Bill Walker (wkwalker@nvdi.com) for details.

Chain Lakes Trail work rescheduled to July 11

Rain–a lot of it–forced us to cancel our original Chain Lakes Trail cleanup on July 1. It is now scheduled for Saturday, July 11.

Here’s the revised write-up (see the calendar for information on other upcoming events):

Saturday, July 11, 8:30am – Chain Lakes Trail No. 377 maintenance: Remove remaining obstructions from top end that were still under snow earlier. Departure from the Walker’s at 8:30am or meet us at the trailhead on Red Meadow Road. The trail is a little over a mile long and steep, providing access to a very nice high-mountain lake. Quite a bit of saw work. There will also be a need for loppers. Contact Bill Walker (wkwalker@nvdi.com) for details.

The calendar is updated!

The year started out messily. Last fall’s big wind event scattered impressive pockets of downfall all through the forest. This, in turn, triggered a major effort to clear the trails and roads essential to firefighting as soon as the weather permitted. This upended our usual early season efforts—but in a good way.

Anyway, now that the big cleanup is winding down, our schedule is getting revved back up. Check out the Calendar page to see what we’ve planned so far. There’s more to be added and no doubt circumstance will force some rearrangement here and there, but the essential framework is in place.

Schedule for the first half of the season posted!

Clearing Glacier View Mtn Trail, April 26, 2025 - W. K. Walker

Clearing Glacier View Mtn Trail, April 26, 2025 – W. K. Walker

We’ve published our initial schedule of activities, running from now until mid-July. As always this time of year, the schedule is kind of fluid, depending on weather conditions and how rapidly the snow melts off in the back-country. Given the current Forest Service staffing difficulties, our schedule is also more ambitious than usual as we attempt to ensure the most significant early season trails get adequate attention.
