This week marks the kick off for a new batch of YCP members. They began their week with intensive training on tool use and park protocols. From there, they honed their skills and worked together to master their knowledge of basic trail maintenance.

Highlights of the week include a delicious lunch with GTNPF board members and donors as well as park staff. The crew also spent a day at historic Menor’s Ferry where they worked tirelessly to prepare the ferry for another year on the Snake River. By the end of the week, Menor’s Ferry was ready to go and team members had dug over 250 drains in the Bradley Taggart and Death Canyon area. Thus far, this year’s YCP has excelled in training and teamwork. We are so excited to see what projects they complete this summer.
