Trails: Bear Creek Trail #1653

Itinerary: This stock-supported trip will leave from The Bear Creek TH, located at the end of Bear Creek Road near Wallowa, OR. We will ride and hike, clearing trees as we go, and camp out on the trail. Work will take place along Bear Creek, working toward Miner’s Basin Trail Junction and beyond if possible. Stock support can carry personal gear for hikers.

Bring your own food and water. Trip is eligible for camping per diem.

Gear Packing List:  Late Spring-Early summer conditions with periods of intense sun exposure.

Crew Leader: Lantz Hughes

Difficulty Rating: Strenuous

You should have experience outdoors and be in good hiking condition with broken-in and tested gear. This is a remote backcountry project, so injuries such as sprains and blisters or even extreme fatigue from not being properly conditioned can quickly become a big safety issue.

Hike: 3/5 Moderate-Strenuous 

Project Work: 3/5 Moderate-Strenuous: -- Mostly logout with some brushing.
