Join us on Giving Tuesday 2022 to support the Blue Mountains Trail!
In just two years, the Blue Mountains Trail has gone from concept to reality. With its growing popularity, we are building our capacity to create new trail resources, support hikers with information and logistics, and take on some major maintenance backlogs and trail improvement projects across the 530-mile route. We are grateful for your support in this incredible effort.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to support our 2023 trail development efforts. Your donation goes directly to support our Blue Mountains Trail Coordinator and the work that can be accomplished through this role.
Here is why long distance hikers, trail enthusiasts, business sponsors and our GHCC trail community support the Blue Mountains Trail...
"The Blue Mountain Trail is much more than another long-distance trail for backpackers to put on their list; it represents an opportunity to learn, understand, and act on important environmental issues that blanket the mountains, canyons, and rivers this path traverses. I spent over a month walking through this incredible landscape and came away excited and empowered to lend my voice to Greater Hells Canyon Council - an organization that works tirelessly to steward and protect our public lands. A donation today will help establish this trail, and in turn, build the movement of the recreation community participating in conservation issues."
