About the event
We will be reestablishing turnpikes on this access trail for the Iditarod National Historic Trail. The work will involve pulling up 4x4s, cutting rebar, and resetting 4x4s. Volunteers should be aware of their own abilities. Volunteers will work alongside both Alaska Geographic Youth Crew and Forest Service employees.
Two campsites at Ptarmigan Campground will be reserved for Alaska Trails volunteers for the evening of June 10th. Campground amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, picnic tables, campfire rings and dumpsters. No RV hookups are available but firewood is sold on-site. Parking aprons are gravel. If you would like to camp after the event, you will share these campsites with other volunteers.
HIKING INFO:
We will be no more than 1/2 mile from the parking area. Hiking is moderate to difficult.
WHAT IT TAKES:
Work will be strenuous at times and volunteers must come prepared with food and water for the day.…
