Project Description

Come kick off the season with ITA by enjoying Idaho’s newest wilderness area! On this one day project, you will experience the deep and secluded river canyons of the Bruneau-Jarbidge River. These desert canyons are unlike anything else in Idaho, and have been featured in publications such as National Geographic.

This year, we will take on Roberson Trails East and/or West built by the CCC during the Great Depression. These trails, about 0.75 miles each, access the Bruneau Wild and Scenic River and are within the Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness Area. The East Trail is in immediate need of re-construction as water erosion has virtually destroyed a few short (100 foot) segments of the trail during the spring of 2011.

Lunch will be provided for all participants.

Travel info: Participants can either meet up in Boise and caravan out to the project site, or meet at the project location. Detailed directions will be sent to all registered participants in advance of the project.

This project is sponsored by the Boise REI Store.
