What to Expect
This is an overnight trail work camp to improve the TRT connector trail called the Horse Meadows Trail off Highway 89 near Luther Pass. The trail crew will camp near the Horse Meadow Trailhead and work on the Horse Meadows Trail. Volunteers are invited to arrive at camp Thursday evening or Friday morning to start work on Friday morning. Horse Meadows Trailhead requires travel on Forest Service Road 51, Willow Creek Road, a 3.3-mile dirt and gravel backcountry road with some navigation around large potholes. A 4WD, high-clearance vehicle is recommended. There is little to no cell service in this area. An optional shuttle to camp from the TRTA office in Stateline, NV departs on Thursday at 4:30 PM. All meals are provided by the TRTA and prepared by a camp cook on site. Camping gear is not provided. Hard hats, tools, eye protection, and gloves are provided by the TRTA. This camp is rated moderate because trail work and camping require using tools and getting dirty.
