Use of Trail Machines
Over the years Tri-State has used many different machines to help construct some of trails it builds. The use of these machines is forbidden in Wilderness Areas, Tri-State would use hand tools in this situation. Tri-State has a wide range of machines and tools for building trails. To see some of these machines and tools check out our Equipment section of our site.
Use of Helicopter Lifts
Due to Tri-State’s philosophy of "Light on the Land", we have become accustomed to using helicopters for the transport of heavy material. We use helicopters, so we do not have to destroy the forests by building roads for cranes and heavy trucks to carry in material and placing it. This alternative is generally more expensive than the other, but it saves on the environment and destruction of the scenery.

Tri-State has many years experience in building hiking trails and can put that knowledge to use in writing grants or assisting an organization in pursuit trail construction grant. Tri-State has successfully written grants for its own trail system and also for other non-profit organizations.
