Project Information:
This is a TKO BCST (Backcountry Service Trip). These are self-supported adventures, meaning you’ll need to provide your own food and backpacking equipment. **Please consider your fitness level before signing up! Overnight volunteers will need to carry all their backpacking gear plus tools.** We’ll be camping in wilderness and adhering to all Leave No Trace principles. Please contact noelle.windesheim@trailkeepersoforegon.org for any questions.
We will be repairing tread work along the Harris Ranch Trail along with clearing back some seasonal brush.
Hiking information:
We will be hiking from the Harris RanchTrailhead. We will decent down the trail 3.35 miles and 1200 feet of elevation as a group. We will establish a base camp at the bottom of the trail and this is where we will camp for the 2 nights. We will hike up from the campsite up to 1 -2 miles each day and then on the final day hike the 3.35 miles back out. This means that you may want to bring a smaller day pack to use when we go back up the trail to do work.
This is a narrow and difficult trail with uneven terrain.
You should plan to participate in this trail party for its entirety. For safety reasons, please do not arrive late or expect to be able to leave early.
