Friends of the Inyo leads many stewardship trips throughout the Sierra, Inyos/Whites and Death Valley, making for tons of trail maintenance opportunities starting from the Eastside!
Here are a couple service trips this spring:
Death Valley Dunes March 5-7: we'll be camping at Stovepipe Wells, restoring an old road near the dunes.
Argus Mtns April 1-3: Invasive species removal and desert rattin' in the Argus. Flowers should be nice by then!
For
summer 2010, we'll be assisting American Hiking Society with trips to Whitney and Bishop Pass. And for the first time ever, we're doing our own Volunteer Vacations! For a small fee (not yet determined), volunteers get full pack support, delicious meals (plus a few perks/discounts at Mammoth-area businesses) and a chance to give back to favorite trails in the Ansel Adams and John Muir Wilderness areas (Garnet or Ediza Lakes, Duck Pass, and if we get enough people, one to Steelhead Lake in McGee Canyon). Dates will be sometime in late July/Early August. Sign up for our email list to be notified when all the details are worked out, or email explore@friendsoftheinyo.org and I'll put you on the list.
