These Shasta-Trinity National Forest pack animals are packing a Back Country Conservation Corps camp out of the Trinity Alps, Sept. 2012. The crew goes into the woods in April and comes out mid-September every year. This crew performs the majority of the trail maintenance within the Trinity Alps helping to preserve wilderness and protecting the resource while providing safe access for the public. Lead Packer, Erik Cordtz, front, rides with a Back Country Horsemen of California volunteer leading the string in the rear. USDA Forest Service employees trained in the skill of pack (horse and mule) stock management, trail riding, animal care, load management, rope tying, and more, lead animal trains, loaded with hundreds of pounds of supplies, from cabin to life support to cleaning to trail maintenance to wildlife repopulation to firefighting.
