Volunteering on the CDT in Montana

Augusta, Montana

Description

Work on our national forest trails. So much fun and adventure with the trail crew bosses from the Montana Wilderness Association. Is it hard work? You bet it is, but naps rejuvenate you for the remainder of the day. Food is delivered by volunteer pack trains and it's fresh and delicious.

We worked in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park. The hikes in accommodated all speeds. The tools are all provided, you just bring your best back and strongest arms. Learning how to use the crosscut saw was a milestone for me. It's an experience that you won't want to miss. You'll never walk a trail again without appreciating the tread of the trail or cleared views of these pristine places.

Hike to Willow Creek Falls

The hike up Willow Creek Gorge is one of my favorites so far. Unfortunately, because of the terrain and elevation gain, I wouldn't recommend taking young kids but if you do, make sure they're attached to you in some way. There are no services at the trail head, so make sure to bring everything you may need with you. The road in can get a little dicey, making 4-wheel drive and good clearance on ...

Hike Crown Mountain, Augusta

Located an hour and forty minutes east of Great Falls Montana, Crown Mountain is a fun day hike, and you'll see few if any other people. The nearest town is Augusta and a great place to stop for a burger and beer at Buckhorn Bar afterward. From Augusta, head West on Benchmark Road for 20 miles. Just past Double Falls campground and on the left side of the road will be the trailhead for Trail 2...

Hike toward Ear Mountain on the Rocky Mountain Front

Ear Mountain's trailhead is located about 125 miles north of Helena. Besides being a hefty hike, Ear Mountain's unique shape draws attention to it every year. It has a flat top while also having sheer cliffs on either side. It sticks out from the main walls on the Rocky Mountain Front, and if you look at the mountain from above, it looks like it's an ear laying on its side. There are two main ...

Hike to Cataract Falls

Located in the Lewis and Clark National Forest on the Rocky Mountain Front, this hike will give the best bang for your buck -- it's about as easy as they come but still boasts outstanding views. The falls are roaring in the spring with snow melt, tranquil in the summer and fall, and permit some decent ice climbing in the winter months.It takes a reasonable amount of time to get to the trailhead...

Hike Jones Creek

The trail head to Jones Creeks is just off of Teton River Road (the road that takes you up to Teton Pass Ski Area) and is marked with a sign, however it's only visible when you're coming down from Teton Pass. If you miss the sign, keep in mind it's about two miles past the Cave Mountain Forest Service campground. Aside from a campfire ring, there are no other facilities at the trail head. To b...
