Trail School
Apr
18
to Apr 19

Trail School

Join The Evergreen Methow Chapter alongside Methow Trails and Methow Valley Trails Collaborative for a two day trails education event! Attend one or both days!
 

The Methow Chapter Trail School is a two-day, hands-on volunteer training focused on trail maintenance and construction. Each morning begins with classroom sessions covering key trail-building concepts, followed by afternoon fieldwork at the Bike Skills Park at Methow Trails (21 Horizon Flats Road, Winthrop, WA 98862) where participants will work alongside professional trail builders from Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance - Methow Chapter.

 

Attendees will take part in real trail projects such as shaping berms and jumps, setting rock features, refining drainage, and constructing wooden skinny lines. Volunteers can join for one or both days — no prior experience is needed.

 

While the focus is on mountain bike-specific trail techniques, these skills apply to all kinds of outdoor stewardship. The Trail School is open to everyone who loves trails — from hikers and runners to riders and general recreation supporters.

 

Participants will walk away with the confidence and know-how to contribute meaningfully to local trail projects. Plus, free food and drinks will be provided!

MVTC season kickoff at Cedar Creek
Apr
24
to Apr 25

MVTC season kickoff at Cedar Creek

MVTC’s first work party of the 2026 field season will be at the Cedar Creek trail. We’re taking a bit of a guess here that there was some storm damage to this trail post the December Rain event, and we’d like to get ahead of the need to keep this beloved outing safe and passable. Staff will be assessing needs as soon as the snow melts, so stay tuned for exact project details. If we are incorrect in our estimate that there is storm damage on the trail, then we will pivot these work party days to another trail in the Mazama area with storm damage. Hiking should be under four miles round trip.

Our crew will convene at the Cedar Creek trailhead at 8:30 each morning and aim to return to the cars by 2:30 pm at the latest. Reach out if you would like to coordinate a carpool from Winthrop. Join us for one day, or both.

Join MVTC staff and a dedicated group of volunteers for our second annual Twisp River Work Week. A crew of volunteers will be camping at the Polar Flats Campground for the week, and you are encouraged to join if interested, or just join for a day as your schedule allows. The main goal of the week is to clear winter blowdowns from trails in the Twisp River Drainage, but deferred brushing and repairing washouts from the December 2025 rainstorm will also be on the docket. There will be work for all ability levels and skill types. Hikes are expected to be around 6 miles or less round-trip.

Our crew will convene at the Poplar Flats Campground at 8:30 each morning and aim to return to the cars by 2:30 pm at the latest. We’ll prioritize work each day at the campground, split into groups, then carpool to selected trails for the work day. Reach out if you would like to coordinate a carpool from Twisp.

West Fork of the Buttermilk work weekend
Jun
5

West Fork of the Buttermilk work weekend

We’ll be spending the weekend working on the West Fork of the Buttermilk. MVTC reopened this trail in 2025, and we’d like to make sure everyone has safe access to Beautiful Star Lake again in 2026. Our goal will be to start the logout of this through fair to the Sawtooth crest, and address encroaching brush along the way. Each day, the logout will go a little further up the trail, so come Friday for a shorter hike, and Sunday for the longer option. All skillsets are welcome

Please note that there is an improvised log crossing for Buttermilk Creek within the first quarter mile of this hike. It’s large and stable, but not the best creek crossing if you’re not sure-footed.

Our crew will convene at the West Fork of the Buttermilk trailhead at 8:30 each morning and aim to return to the cars by 2:30 pm at the latest. Reach out if you would like to coordinate a carpool from Wintrhop. Join us for one day, or all three.

Copper Pass trail restoration

Expect a 3-5 mile round-trip hike, depending on the work location, and a steep climb.

We will meet at the Bridge Creek Trailhead at 9:00 each morning, and aim to return to the cars by 2:30 pm at the latest. Reach out if you would like to coordinate a carpool from Winthrop. Join us for one day, or volunteer for multiple days on this trail restoration project.

Twisp River Work Week
May
22
to May 28

Twisp River Work Week

Join MVTC staff and a dedicated group of volunteers to maintain trails in the Twisp River Drainage. This work week will focus on the first few miles of several trails leading into the Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness. Our main focus will be to support chainsawyers (staff and certified volunteers) to clear logs to the Wilderness boundaries before Washington Trails Association volunteer vacations push further up the trail in June. If you’re more interested in a longer, quieter hike, you may be able to plug in with an experienced crosscut sawyer to clear logs into the Wilderness, or we can always use help clearing brush. There will be work for all ability levels and skill types! Hikes are expected to be no greater than 6 miles round trip.

Each day, we will meet a group of volunteers camped at the Poplar Flats Campground at 8:30 and aim to return to the cars by 2:30 pm at the latest. Reach out if you would like to coordinate a carpool from Twisp. Join us for one day, or make some new friends throughout the week. We’ll take all the help we can get this year.

We’ll prioritize work each day at the campground, split into groups, then carpool to selected trails.

Trails we would like to work on this week include: North Lake trail, Twisp Pass, West Fork of the Buttermilk, South Creek trail, Louis Lake trail, Williams Creek trail, and the Twisp River Trail.

Google Maps directions to the campground

MVTC will provide tools, personal protective equipment, training, and light refreshments afterward.
Please bring water, sturdy, close-toed shoes, lunch, and wear an outfit you do not mind getting dirty. 
All are welcome! Please join us if you are able.

See each slot to sign up.

Klipcuck Campground Cleanup

Klipcuck Campground Cleanup


Join MVTC staff to maintain the Scatter Creek Trail up Twisp River Drainge! This moderate-length out-and-back trail accesses a stunning lake and has become incredibly brushy after the 2018 Crescent Mountain Fire. The focus of these two days of work is to clear brush from the trail corridor and improve the trail surface for the first two miles to the Wilderness boundary. If time and energy allow, we may work beyond, but we anticipate the total round-trip hiking distance being ~4 miles or less.
