Project Description
Crimson Peak sits high above Youngs Creek, with amazing views eastern slope of the Swan Mountain range. Your crew will work to clear the trail of downfall, which hasn't seen a clearing crew in a few years. Volunteers can expect full days of using crosscut and hand saws to clear the trail, and peaceful evenings camped along Youngs Creek enjoying a cold dip after a full day of work. Enjoy a day off mid-week to explore this beautiful part of the Bob or relax around camp.
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.
