Deer Lakes Ridge
Saturday July 12th, 2003

Trek departs from Grand Prize trailhead in Pole Creek, and climbs steadily to a view of Deer Lakes and Castle Peak.

Also seen: the rugged "backside" of the Boulder Mountains, rising out of the West Fork of the East Fork Salmon River canyon.

This area is key in on-going efforts to designate Wilderness in the Boulder-White Clouds. While we prefer to keep the West Fork a migration route for elk, antelope and mule deer, motorized interests have other goals. Over lunch we’ll discuss current Wilderness actions.

Leader Lynne Stone. 10 miles, 2,200 feet elevation gain, strenuous.
