Desolation Wilderness Backcountry Camp – Heather Lake
This Event has no scheduled dates at this time. It last occurred on Monday, July 15, 2024.
Event Description:
Join the Tahoe Rim Trail at this Backpacking Camp as we reconstruct the PCT/TRT deep in Desolation Wilderness. Our work will focus on constructing stone steps and armoring drains to combat erosion near Heather Lake.
This Wilderness Backpacking Camp in Desolation Wilderness requires a 5-mile climb to the campsite while carrying all your gear, food, and supplies to camp out and work for four days. Bear-proof food storage, such as a bear keg, is required (bear hangs are not allowed). TRTA will provide bear canisters. This is an authentic wilderness camp; volunteers should have some backpacking experience. Meals will be provided but prepared on personal backpacking stoves. This camp is rated Most Strenuous (but most rewarding!).
