Overview

About this course

You’re ready to work hard and play hard in the Rocky Mountains. You’re looking for an opportunity to contribute to something bigger than yourself and are curious about public lands management. On this trip, you’ll spend time in the Wind River Range accompanied by a Forest Service ranger and group of motivated peers working on service projects  and backcountry living.

Projects might include building or repairing bridges; replacing trail signs; shoring up eroded trails; clearing brush; or  cleaning up impacted campsites. If you’re looking to combine a wilderness expedition with a backcountry service project, this course is for you.
