Kamiak Butte trail work

From left, Jim McBride, Mitchell Barney, Dave Mahan, Steve Ulrich and Jack McBride work on a trail at Kamiak Butte. For many years, hikers have been enjoying their visits to Kamiak Butte County Park by hiking the Pine Ridge Trail. This spring, Whitman County Parks' staff and Whitman County Park Board members have been repairing retaining walls on several of the north side sections to keep this trail in good condition. Due to the nature of the terrain and the volume of necessary materials, many volunteers were needed to assist in carrying lumber to the repair sites. Volunteers include McBride, WSU Theta Chi Fraternity, the Moscow Idaho Stake LDS Youth, members of the Sunnyside LDS Ward and members of the Moscow YSA Ward. While work has stopped on trail repairs for the summer, park staff will continue work in the fall.
