Hitch #5 Blog Post by Jesse Bergeson - Powell Trails Liaison

The Selway intern crew spent their final field days working the beautiful Walton Lakes Trail. We are happy to report that the trail is clear from the Walton Lake TH all the way to Savage pass. They were lucky to have beautiful fall-like weather while they cleared fallen trees in this lovely (unburned) area.

The crew was not alone as they enjoyed warm sun, they also witnessed a marmot defend his rock crag home with high pitched chirps and warning calls. The lakes are a popular overnight trip or day hike for fishing.

Huckleberries can still be found if you know where to look, with some green ones still on their way to sweetness.

Get out and explore the area during this great time of year!
