Crew Terms

Backpack-in: These crews are popular with energetic volunteers. Crew camp has no road access and volunteers backpack to camp. Pack animals are sometimes used to carry in group equipment and food. Other efforts are self-supported backpack crews where no group camp equipment is available and volunteer provide their own food and carry a tool to use. Backpack crews will sometimes move camp each day so they can work different portions of the trail. Communicate with the crew leader in advance for particulars.

Drive-in: Base camp is normally accessible by conventional auto and a high-clearance 4wd shouldn't be needed.

Jeep-in: Base camp is accessible only by 4wd vehicle, where high clearance and low range gearing may be necessary.
