Project Description

The Lone Mountain trail connects Heart Lake to the Landers Fork River, and is in need of lots of deferred maintenance. Picks and pulaskis will be your tools of choice as you clean old drains and rehabilitate clogged check dams. Additionally, loppers and hand saws will be utilized for brushing work, removing small trees and shrubs that are encroaching onto the trail. Your camp at beautiful Heart Lake allows for abundant swimming and relaxation opportunities at days end!

Thank you to the women of Summits and Shenanigans for your help taking care of the Bob!

Cancellation Policy

It is very important to know that you are expected to commit to the project once you sign up. All of our projects take a lot of time and effort to organize and we want to make sure that we have full trips so that we can complete the project as outlined by our Forest Service partners. Please do not sign up for a trip unless you are committed to doing it.

We do, of course, understand that things happen and circumstances change, so if you must cancel, please do so as soon as possible. Cancellations made less than 45 days before the trip and no-shows will forfeit their project registration deposit as a cancellation fee. 

While uncommon, BMWF may find it necessary to cancel a project due to low volunteer sign-ups or safety reasons (i.e. wildfires), but will contact volunteers as soon as possible and typically no later than two weeks before the project start date.  For this reason we strongly recommend volunteers purchase trip insurance when making airline reservations or other travel arrangements.

To see how many spots are available click the SIGN UP button below. The second page will tell you when there are fewer than 4 spots remaining on a trip.

We encourage you to join the waitlist if a trip is full – we often have openings for these spots throughout the summer!
