2026 Spring Trail Crew Recap: Trip #8: Sioux Hustler Trail
475 hours of hard work, muddy boots, and unforgettable views!
Huge congratulations to Crew 8 for crushing Trip #8! Six incredible volunteers stepped up to clear and maintain our backcountry trails, pushing through everything from chilly rain to mid-80s heat.
What a week looks like on the trail:
The Impact: 475 total volunteer service hours dedicated to keeping public lands open and accessible.
The Hustle: Clearing brush and downed trees with saws, loppers, and root slayers.
The Reward: Setting up camp right on the water at Pageant Lake, spotting eagles at Devil’s Cascade, and swapping stories after a long day's work.
From dealing with thick ticks to pushing through minor trail injuries, this crew showed what true grit looks like. Shoutout to Leaders Sara and Brianna, and crew members Kait, Lon, Alana, and Logan. You all are rockstars!
A massive thank you to the US Forest Service - Superior National Forest (Tofte District) for supporting our crews with essential gear and permits.
