Work Difficulty:
Moderate/Difficult: Crosscut and hand saws will be used to clear the Tunnel Creek #117 trail.

Expect lots of time using a crosscut saw to clear trees from the trail or loppers to remove pesky brush from the trail corridor.
Project Description
Thank you Glacier Surf Soccer Team for your help with this project!
The trail up Tunnel Creek traverses through dense forest, open meadows, and ends in the large basin below the impressive Mount Grant. This trail is in need of both clearing and brushing. Using crosscut and handsaws, your crew will work to clear the trail of downfall so it is usable for future hikers. If sawing isn’t your game, grab a set of loppers and help remove small brush that is encroaching on the trail corridor.
Your crew will meet at the Hungry Horse Ranger Station in the morning and caravan to the trailhead to work for the day. Your camp will be right at the trailhead next to Tunnel Creek.
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!
