2025 Fall Trail Crew Recap: Trip #15 Powwow Trail

“The Feathered Foresters” – took on the south side of the Powwow Trail in mid-October: seven dedicated BWAC volunteers ready for a weekend of clearing and camaraderie! They hiked into Isabella and set up base camp for the weekend, working their way from left of the Wye to Marathon Lake. Armed with root slayers, saws, loppers, and a Pulaski, we tackled brush and downed trees through some of the trail’s toughest stretches. Perfect fall weather blessed the crew — crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and starry, chilly nights — along with sightings of beavers, grouse, woodpeckers, and even a fleeting glimpse of a lynx!

True to their name, The Feathered Foresters picked up plenty of new bird knowledge and caught the last flashes of golden autumn color along the trail. Clear skies, safe travels, and plenty of laughter made for a memorable weekend on the Powwow!
