Hitch 1- West Walker River Trail

Our first hitch had us working on the West Walker Trail in the brand new addition to the Hoover Wilderness. We camped behind a rock bluff near Lane Lake, three miles into the wilderness from the trail head. We maintained the three miles South from Lane to the crossing that stock users take across the West Walker river. We brushed the trail for that length, removed several blowdowns, restored several social trails to a natural state, placed three water bars and installed 16 check steps, concentrated in two sections. The pictures included are of those two sections. All in all we had fantastic weather and a lot of fun on our very productive first hitch!
