Re: Bull of the Woods Condition?
You are correct - most of the wilderness area has burned over the last 16 years - the first fire was in 2008, then 2010, 2011, 2020 (I think some of the fires in 2020 affected it) and 2021 was the largest I think that re-burned some previously burned areas. There is some unburned area in the north a...

Re: Marion Lake 12/29/2023
Thanks! Does it say how much snow is supposed to be there? If it's less than 24 inch I can make it in the Jeep, probably 12 inch with the truck. Depending on ice layer conditions. Here was at the first snow on Oct 27th, probably 6 inch of fresh.PXL_20231027_213209140.jpg Here is the source map: htt...

Re: Corral Springs to Roaring River 11-28-23
Well, now that I've put myself on the spot, here are three ( I think the three) that I haven't hiked: Rim Rock #487A Eureka Peak #671 Buck Lake #728 So I'll have to get to them, I guess. Buck lake is a REALLY short trail - only a half mile to the lake - it used to go up around the rim of the lake a...

Re: Corral Springs to Roaring River 11-28-23
@Rob, that sure looks like a clip from a map that Howard Rondthaler drew from memory for me when I was in college, circa 1982 or 83. I still have it. I was working on a hiking guide for the "proposed" Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness as part of a Sierra Club effort to promote the area and Howard was a...

Re: Corral Springs to Roaring River 11-28-23
All this begs the question: Why was the current alignment of the 507 built at all? I can see that it might be an attractive, remote destination for an adventurous fly fisherman and apparently there was an established campsite on the river, but no longer. This is a really good question - my only tho...

Re: Corral Springs to Roaring River 11-28-23
I was surprised to see that the FS had indeed done maintenance on that trail last year. It was the first time in YEARS they had touched that trail that I'm aware of, but I talked with the trails supervisor and she confirmed it. I was also surprised to see they actually cut logs all the way down to t...

Re: Salmonberry River Steam Donkey Hunt, Oct. 6th, 2023
Matt's Subaru did just fine but he had to take it out of traction control mode so he could spin the wheels if needed. There was only one spot where it was little dicey, but we got past it all right. The road has been very recently regraded so is looser than normal, but it didn't seem to hurt. I fou...

Re: Salmonberry River Steam Donkey Hunt, Oct. 6th, 2023
I walked the canyon several years ago before it got so overgrown. So much history and artifacts to see and I'm always amazed at the power of natures fury. I had always wanted to go down Beaver Slide road, but I was always a bit worried about how steep it was, and getting back out (even with 4WD). Yo...
