Vital Trail Maintenance Program

Projects and Trips for Families and Friends

Vital Trail Maintenance is one of the key support functions we provide. Responsible for close to a half a million acers of wilderness and other forest lands, The High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew offers outdoor trips that can accomadate friends and family of almost any age and ability.

From easy car camping at Edison or Florence Lakes – to long backpack trips down the John Muir Trail – you can find almost any level of activity you want to do. Not to mention campfire meals and friendship that are hard to replicate anywhere else in life.

The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range is some of America’s most beautiful scenery. John Muir called it “The Range of Light.” And, you can either come alone or bring along your friends and family. Because, you will learn as many have learned over the years, Trail Crew trips really are “Trips of a Lifetime”

Volunteers can work as much or as little as they want. On a normal day our volunteers head out on trails to clear fallen trees, maintain erosion control, restore trail tread, clear encroaching brush, and most of all enjoy the Sierra Nevada and all it has to offer. The VTM program has been the heart of HSVTC since its inception. And best of all for our volunteers – it’s all FREE!
