Welcome to the home page for the Mount Hood Chapter of the Pacific Crest Trail Association. Our volunteers maintain the 221 miles of PCT between Midway Meadows south of Washington's Goat Rocks Wilderness and Park Ridge in Oregon's Mount Jefferson Wilderness. Trail work is fun and can be as easy or hard as you wish to make it. Our volunteers range in age from teens to eighties. No experience is necessary; crew leaders will instruct you on the job. Volunteers who participate in two or more work parties earn a free Northwest Forest Pass for the following year. To volunteer for a trail maintenance project*, click the "Sign up" link next to the project in the calendar or send an e-mail to the volunteer coordinator, . You can also join our e-mail distribution list to be informed of upcoming volunteer trail maintenance projects a few weeks in advance.
