Trail Sign Creation & Installation

WMHCTA Volunteers and staff work closely with the Forest Service to reproduce and install trail and boundary signage as well as improve cairns and posts.

Using our CNC router, we follow specific specifications and materials to create trail signs that help people stay on track in the backcountry.

Volunteers work to install signage on trail project trips across the Wallowa Mountains, Hells Canyon and other neighboring public lands.

CNC Router making trail signs

  • Two smiling women and a donkey behind a wooden trail sign on a mountain in a sunny, partly cloudy sky, with a background of tall, leafless trees.

  • A wooden trail sign in a mountainous landscape, indicating 'High Tr 1751' with arrows pointing in both directions, surrounded by grassy hills and trees under a cloudy sky.

  • A person using a cordless drill to write on a wooden board in a grassy outdoor setting, with backpacks and supplies nearby.

  • Trail signpost with two wooden arrows indicating directions to High Trail and Temperance Creek Trail, located in a grassy area with mountains and trees in the background under a clear blue sky.

  • A man wearing a yellow safety helmet, gloves, and outdoor clothing working on a wooden signpost surrounded by rocks in a forested area, with trees and grass visible.

  • A man standing next to a brown and white horse and a golden retriever in a grassy field with trees in the background. The man is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, a blue plaid shirt, and khaki pants. The horse is loaded with camping gear on its back, and the dog is sitting on the grass.
