Greenhorn Improvements Phase 1 Blaine County, Idaho 2024
About the Trail
Phase one saw the removal of the first two bridges from the trail head and a reroute of the trail out of the riparian area. After removing the second lower bridge (which was at the end of its useful lifespan), and closing the trail in the riparian zone we rerouted 0.2 miles of trail along the north side of the creek to the third bridge.
This should reduce future maintenance costs with two less bridges and eliminate trail braiding through the wetland. It also moved the trail out of beaver habitat that is continually flooding the trail.
The third bridge (also at the end of its useful lifespan) was rebuilt with a fully engineered design in a sustainable location. All of this has allowed for quality riparian area restoration that we accomplished with both professional and volunteer efforts.
