Imagine being part of a roving SCA backcountry trail team, working 6 weeks at Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in northeast Oregon followed by 5 weeks in Mount Rainer National Park. Follow along as our Roving Blog series documents the adventures of the Pacific Northwest Roving Trail Team.
Written by Team Leader Jake Westrich, Part 1 of the series takes us to Minam River Trail (USFS designation: 1673).
In Part 2, we see the crew at the aptly-named Hells Canyon National Recreation Area/Wilderness for trail clearing.
The team goes on their final hitch in the Oregon Wilderness to work on trails near Bonny Lakes in the Eagle Cap Wilderness.
After serving in Oregon, Part 4 of the series finds the team at Mount Rainier.
Part 5 transitions to another neat locality called Marmot Hill.
Team Leader Jake Westrich reflects on the team’s summer adventure in this closing chapter.
