The area was once a bustling logging town, established in 1889, with over 600 inhabitants. The town had a large sawmill, shingle mill, broom handle factory and a rail connection for shipping products to Sheffield, PA. Once the timber supply was exhausted in 1913, the mills shut down and the town was deserted.
The Federal Government purchased the site in 1925, adding it to the newly formed Allegheny National Forest. In the 1930s, the Forest Service (using CCC labor) reconstructed the mill pond, added a bathhouse, swimming area, picnic shelters, and landscaping. The distinctive quality of CCC workmanship is evident today in the dam stonework and the log construction of the old bathhouse. The camping loops were added in the 1960s.
Trout fishing is good in Millstone Creek. The picturesque Clarion River, about four miles south of the campground, offers excellent fishing and canoeing. A three-mile long hiking trail, marked with off-white diamonds, starts and ends at Loleta, from the parking lot near the group camping site through the woods around the upper camping loop and comes back in between the upper loop and the group site. Buzzard Swamp offers 10 miles of trail, 5 miles North of Loleta Recreation Area.

This designation indicates that the site possesses exceptional value as an illustration of the nation's natural heritage and contributes to a better understanding of the environment.
In an area which was mostly clear-cut in the 1800s, 20 acres of what is now Hearts Content was owned by Wheeler and Dusenbury Lumber Company from 1897 to 1922. Wheeler and Dusenbury deeded the land to the U.S. Forest Service in 1923. Shortly after, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers constructed the campground, picnic area, and a pavilion in 1936.

This designation applies to the following three sections:
The corridor boundary runs along the plateau ridge on both sides and has extensive areas of privately owned lands with many homes and seasonal recreational residences along the shoreline. Public access is good generally from both sides and few hazards make this an ideal river for novice and family canoeing. Oak forests predominate along steep side slopes and there is wooded-riverine habitat in some of the floodplains. It contains the seven Allegheny Wilderness Islands often used by boaters for dispersed camping and fishing.
The Allegheny Islands Wilderness contains seven islands stretched between Buckaloons and Tionesta along the Allegheny Wild and Scenic River. The islands are popular for dispersed camping, exploration, and viewing scenery and wildlife. They are mostly vegetated with fine riverine forests of sycamore, silver maple, shagbark hickory, and green ash. Dense grasses and other thick vegetation make access limited. There are no developed trails or other facilities on the islands.
The Allegheny River is one of the primary tributaries to the Ohio River. It joins with the Monongahela River to form the Ohio River at the "Point" in Pittsburgh, PA. The Allegheny starts in Pennsylvania, near Cobb Hill, meanders into New York into Cattaraugus County, near Salamanca, before heading back into Pennsylvania northeast of Warren.
The course of the river forms much of the northwestern boundary of the Allegheny National Forest before reaching Franklin where the river turns southeast. Within the borders of the Allegheny National Forest the river is fed by Kinzua Creek, Conewango Creek, Brokenstraw Creek, Tionesta Creek, Oil Creek and French Creek. The Clarion River joins the Allegheny near Kittanning.

In Pennsylvania, the reservoir is completely surrounded by the Allegheny National Forest; and in New York State by Allegany State Park and the Allegany Indian Reservation of the Seneca Nation.
At normal summer pool level the reservoir is 27 miles long, 14 miles in Pennsylvania and 13 miles in New York, with 91 miles of shoreline, and a maximum depth of 130 feet.
Despite how busy the reservoir can get in the summer, there are still places where you can experience the solitude and quiet of the forest. Amenities range from large campgrounds with electric hook-ups, showers, and flush toilets to boat-in campgrounds with simple outhouses.
The reservoir draws people from all over for the quantity and quality of the water activities it has available.
The walleye, trout, bass, pike and muskellunge are there and waiting for a fight. Several record breaking fish have been caught in the reservoir. In the winter you can head out onto the ice for a little ice fishing. If you want to look, but not fish, stop by the dam and peek over the edge. The fish like to gather in the eddies at the edges of the reservoir near the dam. Please do not feed the fish.
The Kinzua Point Information Center boasts an impressive view of the reservoir. Two popular trails nearby include the Jakes Rock Extreme Mountain Biking Trails, and the shorter Rimrock Hiking Trail. After your ride or hike you can head over to the Kinzua Beach and cool off in the chill waters of the reservoir.
And no trip the the reservoir is complete without driving on Longhouse National Scenic Byway and up to the overlooks at Jakes Rocks and Rimrock to take in the endless view of the reservoir against the backdrop of the forest.
Scroll down to find out more about the activities available on the reservoir.
The reservoir was created in the 1960s when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed the Kinzua Dam on the upper Allegheny River. The reservoir water level and water surface is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Only a few private landowners exist on the New York shoreline. The Allegheny Reservoir is unique because very little private commercial development exists along its shoreline.

Imagine yourself as a pumper inspecting your rod line while the single piston engine drives the rod lines to get power to the pump jack. The mechanical trick here is to transfer the horizontal energy of the rod line to a vertical motion that pulls the sucker rod up and down in the well.
The rhythmic thumping of the Cooper-Bessemer single piston, 22.5 horsepower oil field engine, the clinking of the rod lines, and the screeching of the belts are now just echoes on the wind, ringing off the scrap metal walls of this 1939 powerhouse that was in use for half a century.
The pump jack may be one of the most important tools of the oil industry. Without it, oil stays underground, hidden from those who seek its riches.
Finding the black gold and drilling for it in the late 1800's was no small task. Four men worked twelve hour shifts for as long as it took with only Sundays off. A Standard Drilling Rig used a 15 to 20 inch diameter log, 12 to 15 feet long as a maul to loosen the earth in the drilling hole. Once the hole was deep enough, an auger (drill bit) replaced or alternated with the maul to deepen the hole. Casing kept the hole open as the bit went deeper and deeper in search of oil. Oil was brought to the surface using the engine in the powerhouse to drive a system of belts, wheels and rod lines.
Each oil field in the early 1900's had a different pumping system with its own unique solutions to the engineering problems at hand. No two looked or ran quite the same.
In recent years, with the help of many partners, the US Forest Service has restored the powerhouse as an interpretive site. To view more photos of Old Powerhouse, please visit our Old Powerhouse Album on Flickr.
For many years, an Audio Tour has been available for in-person visits. The tour has now been made available in both an mp3 and transcript format. Photos on this page have been provided by Amy Lesher, USDA Forest Service.
The Kinzua Point Information Center is staffed seasonally by the Warren County Visitors Bureau to provide information about the forest and other local attractions. During the summer season, Wi-Fi access is provided by Warren County Chamber of Business and Industry. Located near the Kinzua Dam, and across from Longhouse National Scenic Byway, the information center faces the location of the former town on Kinzua and looks out over the expansive Allegheny Reservoir.
The Kinzua Dam is one of the largest dams east of the Mississippi River. The dam provides flood control and hydro-electric power generation, along with creating Allegheny Reservoir, the second deepest lake in Pennsylvania. The dam is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The dam was built after a flood in 1936 flooded the Pittsburgh metro area. The flood prompted the creation of the Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1938 by Congress, which authorized building the dam.
There was considerable opposition to the dam, the flooding behind the dam forced numerous communities to move and thousands of acres of fertile farmland to be buried underwater. More than 600 families were displaced by the dam, including those in the town of Kinzua and Corydon in Pennsylvania and Onoville and Quaker Bridge, located in New York.
Nearly one-third of the ceded territory of the Seneca Nation, granted under the Treaty of Canandaigua, signed by President Washington, was condemned from the building of the dam, an area totaling 10,000 acres. The government set aside 305 acres of land for the Seneca resettlement in the New York communities of Steamburg and Jimerson Town, to partially compensate for the loss of the communities.
The dam also forced the displacement of Camp Olmstead, owned by the Chief Cornplanter Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The campsite was moved up the hillside and now sits on the shoreline of the Allegheny Reservoir where it is still in use today.

The byway circles the Kinzua Creek arm of the Allegheny Reservoir and there are several campgrounds and picnic areas along the byway, including Jakes Rocks Overlook.
The byway begins at the intersection of Route 321 and Longhouse Drive. As you begin your drive you will pass Red Bridge Recreation Area, a campground and bank fishing area.
As you continue your drive you will continue your drive through hardwoods and hemlock until you near the top of the plateau and come upon the Old Powerhouse.
The route then passes by the Bradford Ranger Station before you continue on Route 59 toward the Allegheny Reservoir.
On this stretch you will come across Morrison Run Trail and access to the Rimrock Overlook and Trail. After the entrance for Rimrock you will reach the reservoir, with Kinzua Beach to the left and Wolf Run Marina to the right.
After driving over Cornplanter Bridge you'll need to turn left onto Longhouse Drive. Visitors who veer right will take a loop up to Jakes Rocks Overlook, while those who continue straight on will travel pass Dewdrop Recreation Area, Elijah Run Boat launch and Kiasutha Recreation Area before they reach Route 321 again.

The Canjilon Ranger District is located in the beautiful mountains of Northern New Mexico. The elevation ranges from a low of 6,500 feet up to almost 11,000 feet above sea level. Climate and vegetation types vary from high desert to alpine zones. The ranger district contains several hiking trails, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. There are three campgrounds located on the ranger district. The ranger district office is located in the small mountain village of Canjilon which contains a population of approximately 325 residents.
The late artist Georgia O'Keefe called it "the best place in the world." Sandstone cliffs rise from the desert floor in layers of orange, pink, grey, and yellow; limited only by the expansive blue sky that pushes down on the northern New Mexico landscape. This is Georgia O'Keeffe Country - remote, solitary, and breathtaking. Many of her famous vistas capture Carson National Forest landscapes located on the Canjilon Ranger District, beginning about 65 miles northwest of Santa Fe.
These high-desert landscapes are also rich in fossils including the New Mexico state fossil, the Coelophysis. No definite fossils of Coelophysis have been discovered outside of New Mexico. The Coelophysis was a small and primitive meat-eating dinosaur that lived during the latter part of the Triassic Period, about 205 to 210 million years ago.
Also located on the district, the Echo Amphitheater is a natural stone amphitheater just off Highway 84, about 15 miles north of the Village of Abiquiu.
The sandstone cliffs and their colors are truly impressive, formed over thousands and thousands of years. The amphitheater is a short and easy walk from the parking lot all along wonderfully fragrant sage bushes. At the amphitheater have fun singing, yelling, and screaming and listen to the cliffs singing, yelling, and screaming back at you.

Three lakes make up Trout Lakes on the district and provide excellent fishing opportunities amid a setting of quiet green forests. Summer's beauty turns to gold as autumn touches the aspen and rewards campers lingering in the area.
Canjilon Lakes is on the district, where views of Canjilon Mountain, as well as the surrounding national forest are spectacular and are a photographer’s dream. The campground has 52 campsites on the shores of 6 small ponds at 9,900 foot elevation, with 6 picnicking spots above at Upper Canjilon Lakes.

Recreational activities include hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and rock climbing. The Rio Chama and the Rio Vallecitos are known for excellent trout fishing. At the headwaters of El Rito, a fish barrier has been installed to protect the established population of native Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout. Dispersed camping opportunities are numerous. The El Rito dispersed camping corridor offers 4 miles of beautiful campsites along El Rito; this area is traditionally utilized by local families for large family reunions.
The Potrero cliffs along Forest Road 44 draw a lot of rock climbers from the area. Many rock climbing routes are available along with a large dispersed campground. A short half-mile hike up from this campground brings you to Potrero waterfall.
The El Rito Ranger District is home to one of two functioning Federal Sustained Yield Units in the entire United States. The Vallecitos Federal Sustained Yield Unit (VFSYU) was established in 1948 and is approximately 73,400 acres in size. The VFSYU was established through the authority of the Sustained Yield Forest Management Act of 1944.
The unit was established to provide employment opportunities and provide saw timber and other forest products.
The district also administers the Jarita Mesa Wild Horse Territory. The wild horse territory dates back to when the conquistadores came from Spain and the blood line of the horses dates back to the late 1700s.
Forest products such as green fuel wood, dead/down fuel wood, juniper posts, latillas, and vigas are provided through personal-use permits. The general public relies heavily on fuel wood for heating their homes during the winter months.

The Jicarilla Ranger District consists of more than 153,000 acres of National Forest System lands, located in northwestern New Mexico about 50 miles east of Farmington. The district is within the San Juan Basin, one of the highest producing natural gas basins in the country, representing as much as 10 percent of the nation's supply. Natural gas production is the prevalent use of the district. Leasing for natural gas development began in the 1940s and currently 97 percent of the district has been leased. More than 800 natural gas wells are active. The Jicarilla contributes more than $28 million back to the Department of Treasury each year in gas receipts.
The Jicarilla is the site of the first nuclear gas 'Stimulation project carried out by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Project Gasbuggy was detonated on December 10, 1967 in an existing natural gas well to determine whether controlled nuclear explosions could be useful in loosening rock formations to stimulate natural gas flow and extraction. A 29-kiloton device was placed at a depth of 4,240 feet underground. Natural gas, water, and a small amount of oil were produced by the project. Gasbuggy was considered a double failure because it did not produce as much gas as expected and customers were concerned about buying natural gas with traces of radioactivity. Remediation of the surface was conducted in 2004 to remove soils contaminated by drilling muds, with the primary contaminant being diesel. The area around Gasbuggy has been withdrawn from natural gas development. In 1978, a placard was installed at the site noting the location of ground zero. The placard is publicly accessible via Forest Road 357, south of U.S. 64.
The primary recreational uses on the Jicarilla are big game hunting and wild horse viewing. Deer and elk are the most popular game species and account for the majority of hunting.
Cougar, bear, and turkey comprise additional hunting opportunities. Guided hunts are popular, although most hunters choose to hunt independently. The northern one-third of the Jicarilla is home to the Jicarilla Wild Horse Territory. The Jicarilla Wild Horse Territory was designated by Congress in 1971.
The Old Spanish Trail, a designated National Historic Trail, crosses the northeast corner of the district. The Old Spanish Trail is a historic horse and burro pack route that connected Santa Fe, New Mexico to Los Angeles, California and was developed primarily for trade. Much of the trail route-follows Native American trail and trade routes. Use by the Spanish began in 1700s and continued into the mi'd-1800s. Traces of the Old Spanish Trail have been found on the Jicarilla and work is ongoing to find additional trail segments.

The Camino Real Ranger District is the area closest to Taos and serves 32 unincorporated communities and 2 Native American Pueblos that depend on the district for wood and other forest products. The smaller communities such as Ojo Sarco, Truchas, Vadito, and Trampas rely heavily on timber to use for building materials or to burn in woodstoves.
The Camino Real Ranger District is managed for many multi-use purposes; hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, camping and personal firewood cutting are among the activities. The District manages many acres of the Carson National Forest. The district has more than 252 miles of trail, offering diverse terrain and dramatic landscapes for the skilled hiker. Some of the best and easiest hiking trails are in this district. The Devisadero Loop trail is a 6-mile loop that is just outside of the town of Taos. This trail offers a moderate 1,100-foot elevation gain. There are great views of the town of Taos, Wheeler Peak, and Taos Pueblo lands. The trek takes hikers through various habitats along the trail from pinon and juniper on the south to pine and spruce on the north side of the loop.
![\"Hikers](\"https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/fseprd1093631.jpeg\")
The district is also home to one of the nation's premier mountain biking opportunities. The South Boundary Trail offers 22 miles of sweet downhill single and double track, cruising through deep and dark evergreen forest, aspen glades, and meadows. The terrain provides great views and some technical challenges at the end to give you a dose of adrenaline to finish the ride. The occasional break in greenery reveals gorgeous panoramas of Taos Canyon and Wheeler Peak Wilderness Area.
Sipapu Ski Area is one of New Mexico's oldest ski areas, opening in 1952. Located off of U.S. 518, the area is family friendly, offering a wide variety of terrain for both the experienced and inexperienced skier or snowboarder.

The Tres Piedras Ranger District is managed for many multi-use purposes; hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, camping and personal firewood cutting are among the activities.
The district is named for the large outcrop of rocks near the district office. It is the largest district on the Carson National Forest, consisting of 388,000 acres.
One of the district's most distinctive features is San Antonio Mountain, rising 10,908 feet above surrounding sagebrush flats. It is the largest free standing mountain peak in the country. The mountain's rounded volcanic dome, nearly 4 miles across at the base, is a landmark that's easily spotted from many locations in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado.
The district is also home to one of the largest elk herds in New Mexico, with a large resident herd of about 2,000 elk wintering yearly in the San Antonio Mountain region.
Hopewell Lake, about 60 miles west of Tres Piedras, is a recreational hotspot, featuring fishing and developed campgrounds.
The area is steeped in history of the wild west. In the early 1880s prospectors fanned out though much of the northern and northwestern portions of New Mexico and, in some instances, made significant strikes. One of these was an extensive placer gold strike in the Tusas Mountains near modern-day Hopewell Lake. In the late 1800s, the introduction of the Denver and Rio Grande Western narrow gauge railroad, known as the Chili Line brought more visitors to the area. A small portion of the railroad is still being used and enjoyed by visitors today, and is known as the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad.
At its peak, the district provided grazing for nearly 2 million sheep more than 100 years ago. Along with grazing products, the train carried the massive products of the lumber industry. The railroad helped to facilitate the removal of several million board feet of pine taken from the mountains for rail expansion. U.S. Highway 285 closely follows the rail bed from Taos Junction to Antonito, and only the town of Tres Piedras remains.

The Questa Ranger District is managed for many multi-use purposes; hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, camping and personal firewood cutting are among the activities. It is nearly 271,555 acres and is located just south of the Colorado border in northern New Mexico. The district includes the communities of Taos Ski Valley, Questa, and Red River.
The district is perhaps best known for skiing opportunities and the Valle Vidal, a special management area considered by many as a crown jewel of northern New Mexico.
The Valle Vidal is a sprawling, 100,000-acre swath of lush meadows, dense forests, craggy peaks and clear streams. After July 1, it's open season on the indigenous Rio Grande Cutthroat trout in the Rio Costilla and the other creeks that run through the area. The first few weeks after the opening of the highly regarded unit attract a hefty amount of visitors looking to wet a line in the legendary Rio Costilla.
Three of the Carson's four ski areas are located on the Questa District. Taos Ski Valley is a premiere destination resort. The base is at 9,207 feet with the highest peak being Kachina Peak at 12,481 feet. Red River Ski Area is located about 35 miles northeast of Taos and offers 57 trails to ski on. The Enchanted Forest is a crosscountry ski area on the district, which offers stunning mountain vistas along meandering forest trails for both skiing and snowshoeing. During the summer, all ski areas offer a wide range of activities from mountain biking to disc golf and downhill slides.
![\"Fall](\"https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/fseprd1093640.jpeg\")
Donated to the Carson National Forest in 1982, the Valle Vidal is well known for its wildlife, as well as its outstanding scenic and recreational opportunities. The Valle Vidal is a veritable Rocky Mountain paradise, with abundant populations of regional wildlife, including mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, bald eagles, and native Rio Grande cutthroat trout. In addition, the vast alpine meadows of the Valle Vidal provide critical habitat for one of the largest herds of elk in New Mexico.

Trout Lakes contains 12 primitive campsites and access roads within the campground. Sites are best suited for tent camping and small campers/camp trailers. Three lakes provide fishing opportunities amid a setting of quiet conifers and aspen. Summer’s quiet beauty turns to gold as autumn touches the aspen and rewards campers lingering in the area.
Safety Information
Access road to Trout Lakes is extremely hazardous when wet. This road is graveled from U.S. Highway 84 for three miles. The remainder is not graveled and is extremely slick and hazardous when wet. Monsoon rains make this road impassable. High clearance vehicle and four-wheel drive is recommended. Large RVs or camper trailers are allowed but not recommended because of the road.
General Information:
Be extremely cautious with fire and use only the fireplaces provided. Please do not cut down trees or shrubs; they provide natural scenery and shade-not firewood. Please do not carve on the trees. Carving leaves a wound where fungus can enter and kill the tree.
Please do not deposit fish remains in the lakes and clean fish away from the water. Please wrap fish remains and other highly spoilage meats, food, etc., in small plastic bags, then in bread wrappers, and/or newspapers. Pack out all trash on your way out of the campground and fishing area.
Please pick up litter around your campsite and pack it out with you. Also please read and comply with the posted regulations.

To restore the remainder of Midewin to tallgrass prairie and other native habitats (nearly 20,000 acres) will take considerable time and plant materials, including seed.
Three seedbeds, at the Supervisor’s Office, River Road and Chicago Road, provide the native plant seeds from over 100 species of prairie plants to help restore Midewin with native plants.
River Road: There is a parking area available near these seedbeds, located north of River Road along Boathouse Road. This is a wetland species seedbed.
Although some types of wild seed are available from specialized native plant nurseries, many are not. That’s one major purpose of Midewin’s three native seed production gardens -- to produce seeds of native grasses and wildflowers that we cannot get from other sources. Many of these plant species are not commercially available, or if available, not in the amounts we need to restore prairie to Midewin. Even with our own production of seed and plants, it will still take many decades to restore much of the native habitats to Midewin.
For more information on seed production and some Frequently Asked Questions visit the Land And Resources Management section of the website.

Occasionally there will be fish in the pond, but in drier years the pond will dry up. It is surrounded by oak and hickory forest and can be reached by hiking the Prairie Creek Woods Trail.
Both along the trail and at the pond visitors will be treated to views of several reintroduced native species of wildflower, grass, sedge and rushes. At the overlook to the pond a bench provides respite from the hike, and provides visitors the chance to sit quietly for a few minutes, or hours, to listen to the croaking of the many green frogs that inhabit the area and watch the dragonflies and damselflies flit around.
It isn’t known if the pond is naturally occurring or man-made, although evidence of the topography suggests man-made. Because of its location, the water in the pond doesn’t come from Prairie Creek, but instead comes from rain and infrequent flooding. As a result the nutrient rich water in the pond is covered in algae during July and August.

To restore the remainder of Midewin to tallgrass prairie and other native habitats (nearly 20,000 acres) will take considerable time and plant materials, including seed.
Three seedbeds, at the Supervisor’s Office, River Road and Chicago Road, provide the native plant seeds from over 100 species of prairie plants to help restore Midewin with native plants.
Plantings for this seedbed began in 1996, the year Midewin was created. It is the second largest native plant seedbed at 2 acres. The plantings are mostly native grasses and forbs surrounded by a fence to prevent deer browsing. It will take a walk or bicycle ride to visit these seedbeds, located one mile south of the Hoff Road Trailhead. There is a nice walking trail around Turtle Pond here, too.
Although some types of wild seed are available from specialized native plant nurseries, many are not. That’s one major purpose of Midewin’s three native seed production gardens -- to produce seeds of native grasses and wildflowers that we cannot get from other sources. Many of these plant species are not commercially available, or if available, not in the amounts we need to restore prairie to Midewin. Even with our own production of seed and plants, it will still take many decades to restore much of the native habitats to Midewin.
For more information on seed production and some Frequently Asked Questions visit the Land And Resources Management section of the website.

About 185 million years ago, a seven-mile thick sheet of sedimentary rocks began to buckle and fold. Wind and water wore away the softer layers, wearing down the mountains, and creating a region of rolling plains. Then the plains themselves were violently uplifted and broken. The rivers that had previously rolled gently over the plains turned into raging torrents that cut deep gorges and canyons. One such gorge is the Smoke Hole, where the South Branch of the Potomac River squeezes between North Mountain and Cave Mountain. For over 20 miles the river has carved a half-mile deep canyon, with nearly vertical walls.
The misty fog that often lies along the river as it runs through the "hole" makes the name appropriate. Where the name really came from is uncertain. Some old timers call the canyon "Smoke Holes" and claim Native Americans used the caves for smoking meat. Others say it was the moonshiner's stills that gave the gorge its name. Regardless, the canyon is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful areas in West Virginia. The remote, rugged landscape provides a unique recreation experience, whether you are fishing, hunting, hiking, canoeing or camping. The roads into the area are narrow and winding: take your time and enjoy the scenery.

Boating is popular on the 27,750-acre reservoir, and a concrete boat ramp is accessible from within the campground. Swimming and fishing are also popular pastimes, and anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish, including cutthroat trout and whitefish. Waterskiing, sailing, and motorboating are also popular.
The campground offers 21 overnight sites for tent and RV camping. Each is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Campground roads and parking spurs are paved. An on-site host is available to answer any questions about the campground and surrounding area. The campground also offers first-come, first-serve sites as well.
Lost Johnny Point Campground is approximately 18 miles southwest of the West Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have 20 km of cross-country skiing right out our back doors on public lands. Thanks to our friends at the Glacier Nordic Club, Round Meadow trails are regularly groomed and open to all.
Stay in your lane. At Round Meadow Trails, there is a classic ski lane to the right, skate ski in the middle, and foot traffic on the left margins. While walking on groomed trails might seem like a good route, foot steps are incredibly damaging to the groomed trail. Stick to your lane so that skiers can have a good experience as well.
That goes for dogs too. They should be under control and off the groomed trails.
Avoid skiing on trails that have just been groomed. It takes 2-4 hours for the freshly groomed trails to set up.
Get the latest grooming reports online at www.GlacierNordicClub.org or click the grooming status button below.

The Old Condon Ranger Station is part of a historic Forest Service compound constructed in the early 1920s. The compound served as a year-round base of operations for what was then called the Condon Ranger District until the current Condon Work Center was constructed in the 1960s. While not all the original buildings remain on the site, the ranger's residence has been restored for public use. The cabin features electricity and running water with a flush toilet in the bathroom. Just inside the screened porch with its great views, guests will find a living/dining room, propane heater, and full kitchen.

The two-hour journey is worth the effort to reach the 50-foot Opossum Creek Falls. Most of the two-mile hike ambles along a pleasant trail shaded by an assortment of hardwoods and bordered at times by small partridgeberry wildflowers. But when you reach the Chattooga River, you will turn left onto a heavily vegetated path and scramble around rocks and trees for the last half-mile hike to the base of the waterfall.

Set back into a hillside and surrounded by an explosion of rhododendron, Spoonauger Falls runs down a stepped rock face in a broad sheet. The 50-foot high waterfall is among the more popular in this area of the Chattooga River Watershed, in part due to the easy 20-minute hike. Like its cousin, King Creek Falls, this waterfall is picturesque, especially in the summer when foliage is leafed out and afternoon light highlights the innumerable horizontal slashes of the rock. A shorter waterfall is visible along the way to Spoonauger Falls.
Presbyterian Lake is a four-acre pond managed for largemouth bass, bluegill and shellcrackers.

A moderately difficult out-and-back trail leads you to the base of a spectacular 50-foot vertical cascade. After a short hike on the Yellow Branch Nature Trail, you will come to the junction with the Yellow Branch Falls Trail. You will pass through groves of dignified hardwoods and cross meandering creek bottoms before turning to circumnavigate the steep terrain. In the winter when the trees are bare, you can see the Walhalla vicinity as you hike. Wear sturdy shoes and use extra caution during wet conditions as the trail skirts the edges of deep ravines. Conversely, if it hasn’t rained for some time, the falls may be just a trickle of water over a series of ledges.

The update makes the regulation consistent with current management activities of the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River. The revised regulation reflects the decisions that were made by the Forest Service in 2012 to allow floating activities on National Forest System lands above GA/SC Highway 28, with certain restrictions.
The proposal will be published in the Federal Register on November 7, and can be found at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2023-24569.

The Chattooga River begins in mountainous North Carolina as small rivulets, nourished by springs and abundant rainfall, high on the slopes of the Appalachian Mountains—the start of a 50-mile journey that ends at Lake Tugaloo between South Carolina and Georgia, dropping almost ½ mile in elevation.
The Chattooga was designated a wild and scenic river in 1974. It is one of the longest and most spectacular free-flowing mountain rivers in the Southeast. Over a distance of 50 miles, the river descends an average of 49 feet per mile from its headwaters in North Carolina to the state line between South Carolina and Georgia. The Chattooga offers some of the best whitewater boating and trout fishing in the region.
Many people lack the equipment or skill needed to run the Chattooga River safely. Expert and novice paddlers alike visit the Chattooga from around the world, and the river does not discriminate between them. The Chattooga has claimed many lives since the Forest Service began keeping records in 1970. Most have been paddlers -some of them expert paddlers. But the river has taken a toll on swimmers as well.
Three companies are commercially licensed to operate on the Lower Segment of the Chattooga River by the Forest Service (Sections III and IV). These companies also provide instructional clinics in whitewater canoeing and kayaking.

The best points to get onto the river are five miles down river at the Broad River boat ramp or Woods Ferry Recreation area. The 16.6 mile float to Neal Shoals Dam is primarily flat-water with a few riffles. There is a small inlet to the river on the east bank where you can portage around the dam. Once around the dam the river passes under Highway 72/121 (no access). The Sandy River flows into the Broad from the east, and there is an access point just around the bend of the confluence. South of the Sandy River is the liveliest part of the trip. Riffles and ledges are present but the paddling is not difficult. The next landmark is Shelton Island, stay to the right channel. Henderson Island is next, a nice place to stop to take a break. The unusual stand of hardwoods covers a steep cove on the west bank. Take the left channel. As you travel under the bridge for Highway 34, you are leaving the forest.

Tucked away in a peaceful glen on the Enoree Ranger District sits the Molly’s Rock Picnic Area. It has wonderful shade trees, a historic picnic shelter, a pond with a wood deck overlooking, and a grassy field for romping in.
But where’s the rock? And who was Molly?
The rock, it turns out, is on a nearby piece of private land not visible from the recreation site. But so colorful were the local legends surrounding it, that the picnic area was renamed Molly's Rock (originally Suber recreation area) to honor the local landmark and its mysterious history.
One legend holds that Molly was a maiden who played on the rock and watched travelers as they passed. She fell in love with a revolutionary war soldier, but her disapproving father, he sent her lover away. It is said that Molly left her father’s home broken-hearted and never to return. She took shelter at the rock, gathering her food from the forest, until she died. Some people claim they felt Molly’s presence as they approached the rock.![\"Molly's](\"http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprd3823529.jpg\")
A twist on the legend paints Molly as a teen who would sit on the rock and wave to civil war soldiers, Union and Confederate on the march from the coast to the high country. A confederate soldier, fleeing Sherman’s army as it torched Columbia, claimed she was an angel who healed a wound in his side.
A preacher fell in love with her, says one tale, but he came to believe she was a witch as she grew older!
A carpetbagger who made her acquaintance described her as a mature, loving, but half-witted woman.
And then there’s Marley, a British captain for whom, some claim, the rock was named. Details are scarce, but a marker near the rock reads “Marley’s Rock.”
Whatever the real story, the quiet little picnic area pays tribute to them all as the namesake of Molly’s Rock.

The rustic one-room cabin offers a secluded retreat on four fenced acres, surrounded by high mountain vistas.
The original Pebble Guard Station was built in 1908. The current structure stands at a higher altitude and was built in 1933.
Guests can drive to Pebble Guard Station during warmer months, but it can only be accessed by snowmobile in winter. Those arriving in winter should expect to haul their gear and supplies for about 4 miles on a groomed trail. The cabin supplies most of the comforts of home, especially during the warmer months, but guests may need to bring some additional items.
Natural Features: The cabin is located at 6,320 feet on the open foothills of Pebble Basin, which offers expansive views into the high country of Bonneville Peak. This peak is the highest of the Portneuf Range, and the mountains of this range are covered with pine forest and green vegetation.
A variety of wildlife inhabits this area, including mule deer, elk, cougars, coyote and black bears (bear safety tips).
Recreation: Guests at Pebble Guard Station will find opportunities for recreation year-round. Hunting is a popular pastime, and a nearby beaver pond provides good fishing and wading. Trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicles are nearby (Idaho OHV safety message). In winter, the area turns into a snowmobiling playground.
Facilities: The guard station offers a mudroom/porch with a large sink, countertop and shower facilities. The main room serves as the kitchen and sleeping room. Cabin amenities include a wood stove for heat, propane appliances (heater, stove/oven, small fridge, water heater), two bunk beds with mattresses, two folding cots, limited tableware and cookware, four chairs and a fold-down table.
A vault toilet, horse corral, campfire ring, grill and picnic table are located outside. Wood for the wood stove and fire ring is available seasonally and is stacked next to the cabin. The parking area can accommodate up to four RVs.
The cabin's water is shut off in November, so winter guests need to bring their own water. Bedding, cleaning supplies, towels, garbage bags, first aid supplies, matches and flashlights are not provided. Guests are expected to clean the cabin and pack out their trash upon departure.
Nearby Attractions: Lava Hot Springs makes a fun day trip from the cabin. Visitors can enjoy a natural hot springs soaking pool, Olympic-sized swimming pool, waterslides and diving platforms. Two 9-hole disc golf courses are linked around the Lava Hot Springs pool complex.
Tubing on the Portneuf River is also a very popular activity. Tube rentals are available throughout town.
Pine Bar Campground is located east of Freedom, ID on the Tincup Creek. It has 5 single units, 1 double site and restrooms. The are several hiking and fishing opportunities here.

Later it became a way station on the Yellowstone Highway for ranchers, sportsmen, and tourists. After acquiring the inn from Montana Power in 1986, the Forest Service partnered with Harriman State Park and other generous groups to renovate the facilities and keep the site open. Big Falls Inn is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Exhibits on the natural and cultural history of the area can be enjoyed inside the visitor center.
From the Visitor Center, an accessible trail and boardwalk provide spectacular views of Mesa Falls. A rainbow often decorates the canyon on summer mornings when sunlight passes through the mist, and interpretive panels share the natural and cultural history of the area.

Islip from the South and Vazquez Rocks in the North, this campground offers 21 spacious sites of year-round tranquility. Each site comes with a fire-ring and grill to huddle around and cook those family campfire meals. Additionally, each site comes with a picnic bench should your group decide a game of cards is in order.
After an evening around the fire, the South Fork Campground offers hiking and horseback riding to some of the most beautiful features in the San Gabriels. Campers turned hikers can travel south along Big Rock Creek towards Islip Saddle and see seasonal waterfalls or spot a Nelson's Big Horn Ram. What's more, hikers can head east along the Manzanita Trail towards Vincent's Gap or west to the Devil's Punchbowl - one of the most geologically interesting places in Los Angeles County. Regardless of the time of the year, visitors can find a trail that suits their needs and experience level.

What to Expect
This iconic Southern California hike intersects with two nationally recognized trails, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Silver Moccasin trail as it winds its way up towards the summit of Mt. Baden-Powell.
The trail is the most difficult route to the summit but is the most popular way to reach the top. This 8-mile trek features 35 switchbacks up the north face of one of the tallest mountains in the San Gabriels. Those attempting this "must-do" hike will find the beginning part of the hike the most difficult with the rest being slightly easier. The trail will take backpackers under the spine of the ridge through stands of Jeffrey, Ponderosa, and Lodgepole pines. What's more, be sure to stop and admire the 1,500-year-old Limber pine at the timberline.
Fun fact: Mt. Baden-Powell is named after Lord Robert Baden-Powell in 1931. He was the founder of the modern Boy Scouts and as such the trail is well-maintained by Boy Scout groups. A monument lies in his honor near the summit of his named mountain.

For those seeking an easy stroll down a canopied paved trail with relaxing water sounds, then the West Fork is for you! This 7-mile hike can be accessed from Hwy. 39 and is located 14 miles above the city of Azusa, CA. This nationally-designated bikeway is very popular with bicyclists who enjoy flat surface. Follow the trail towards Glenn Campground (campground closed) and eventually Cogswell Dam.
During a hot summer day, hikers can cool off by dipping into the West Fork of the San Gabriel River under shade from sycamore, white alder, and willow trees.
It's important to note, however, this is one of the forest's more popular hikes and the nearby West Fork parking lot only accommodates 45 vehicles (make sure to display an Adventure Pass) so come very early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds.

Recreational activities abound in the Smith River National Recreation Area or NRA. The beautiful Smith River offers fishing for steelhead, trout, and salmon. During the summer months, the pure, clean waters of the Smith River are perfect for swimming, rafting, or fishing and the forested mountainsides present occasions for hiking, bird watching, wildflower walks, or perhaps just lounging in the sun.
Winter temperatures drop into the 40s and 50s, with an occasional snow storm. The rainy season normally runs from October through April with an average annual rainfall of 92.55 inches. Summers are dry with highs in the 80-100°F degree range. Contact the NRA Headquarters at the Gasquet Ranger Station for current weather conditions.

While fire lookouts may be passing into history, they remain objects of interest for many people, both for their beautiful locations and the mystique surrounding existence in a high and remote site. Now you have an opportunity to feel for yourself what it's like to live in a fire lookout. The Bear Basin Butte Lookout is situated high atop a narrow mountain ridge and offers a 360° view of the Siskiyou Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The Six Rivers National Forest invites you to experience life at the top of Bear Basin Butte through rental of a historic fire lookout and a new 1930s style cabin.

The Alum Cove Natural Bridge Recreation Area and trail is designed primarily for visitors to be close to nature.
Exercise caution while hiking along the bluff line. Early settlers reportedly used this arch to move their wagons and livestock across the streambed during wet weather. Water and wind also shaped other interesting rock formations along the bluff line across the cove, including the cave (or "rooms" as they are often called) or overhangs. Native Americans used these rock overhangs for shelter while on extended hunting trips. At one time, free-roaming goats inhabited the caves, giving the formations the local name, "goat houses."

The ranger district office is located at 3001 East Walnut Street, Paris, AR (mailing address PO Box 511, Paris AR 72855) phone 479-963-3076.
This area in the Mt. Magazine Ranger District is predominantly mature hardwood mixed with pine. The toop of the mountain is flat, but steep slopes fall away to the north, east, and south. Roads penetrate the walk-in turkey area from all sides, but none pass all the way through because of the steep slopes. Access into the area is good due to numerous trails, but the foot terrain is steep.
There are several developed wildlife openings within the area that are maintained year-round to encourage an abundance of healthy wildlife habitat. There are some scenic vistas within this area, viewable in the late fall and winter, but overlooks are limited in the spring and summer months, due to heavy timber growth.
Some land along the borders of the Huckleberry Mountain Walk-In Turkey Area is privately owned, and hunters are asked to be particularly mindful of public land boundaries. All Forest Service maps show boundary lines.
All interior roads leading into the walk-in turkey area are closed at the boundary from April 1 to May 31 of every year. Restricting vehicle traffic, horses, and OHV’s protects turkeys during the critical nesting and brood rearing seasons. To obtain a complete list of road closures, please contact the ranger district.

Lake Wedington is a 102-acre lake located just 13 miles west of Fayetteville, AR on State Hwy 16. During the 1930s, local men employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) began building the lake and recreation area and planting trees under the guidance of the Soil Conservation Service. In 1954 the land, facilities and management were passed to the USDA Forest Service. Through the hard work of the Friends of Lake Wedington volunteer group, several buildings have been restored and now the Lake Wedington Recreation Area is on the National Register of Historic Places. The area contains 6 historic cabins, a pavilion, volleyball courts, and horse-shoes (some avail only in summer). The area also offers a Lodge, Group Pavilion, Group Camp Area, Bathhouse, Flush Toilets, Boat Launch Ramp (max. 10 hp motors allowed), 18 Camp Sites (no utilities), 19 Picnic Sites, Swimming Area (Wheel-Chair Accessible), Fishing Pier (Wheel-Chair Accessible), Lakeshore Hiking Trail, and the North Twin 7-mile Hiking/Mtn Biking Trail.

The Leatherwood Wilderness contains 16,838 acres are located on the Sylamore Ranger District. It lies approx 15 miles south of Mountain Home and 20 miles northwest of Mountain View, AR. It is bordered on the north, east, south, and southwest by 4 high ridgetop roads. The western boundary is shared with the Lower Buffalo Wilderness, which is administered by the National Park Service and is part of the Buffalo National River. There are 6 creeks within the Leatherwood Wilderness, which are separated by some of the most rugged, high ridgetop terrain in the Ozarks. They are characterized by steep-sided ridges over 1,200 ft high. Many are with long exposed sides of sheer vertical rock face and benches, giving the appearance of large stairsteps dropping into the drainage below. Elevation varies from 1,300 ft above sea level on the highest ridgetops to 420 ft where Leatherwood Creek exits the Wilderness. The forest is spotted with stands of native shortleaf pine as well as the unique cedar glades nestled within the primarily oak, gum, and hickory forest. There are no developed trails, but several old roads offer access into the wilderness. Points of Interest - Buffalo National River: was the country's first national river. Lower Buffalo Wilderness: expect to see bluffs, waterfalls, and old cabin sites. White River: Known for its abundance of trout and its scenery, featuring some of the best bluffs in the Ozarks.

Main points of interest include Slick Rock Hollow, numerous scenic overlooks, and beautiful open fields managed as openings for wildlife. In addition to the original 13.75 mile section, the trail now extends from Barkshed Campground, upstream along the creek to a new trailhead on Cripple Turkey Road where it intersects the Ozark Highlands Trail. The ten mile extension was completed in 2006, largely through the efforts of the Ozark Society and American Hiking Society in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service. Three trailheads are located within the District’s developed recreation areas: Blanchard Springs, Gunner Pool, and Barkshed. Camping is available only within developed sites at the recreation areas, but primitive camping is allowed at the Allison and Cripple Turkey Trailheads. With caution, the access roads for the extension can be negotiated in almost any vehicle. The roads are gravel, narrow, rough, and not populated or heavily traveled. Cole Fork Road is subject to flooding, and caution should always be used crossing Cole Fork Creek near the end of the road.

One of three wildernesses on the Buffalo Ranger District, it takes its name from the main creek running through the area with the rich, fertile soil along the lower creek portion near the Buffalo River. An unusual feature of the Ozark Mountains is that the “mountains” are actually plateaus, uplifted as a unit with few folds or faults. The ruggedness of these mountains is due to erosion of the plateaus caused by swift rivers flowing between them. Topography within 1/4 mile on either side of Richland and Long Devil’s Fork Creeks is quite rugged and scenic. Rock bluffs over 100 feet high and extending over a mile along each side of Richland Creek graphically reveal the earth’s development. The forest cover is mostly second and third growth oak-hickory. Some scattered stands of shortleaf pine in old fields exist from when the Forest Service purchased the land in the 1930s and 1940s. There are no developed trails located in the wilderness. There is a system of old logging roads that run throughout the area and receive sporadic use. Kayakers float Richland Creek after rains have raised the creek water level. The wilderness area is known for its crystal clear creeks and waterfalls. Remember to take drinking water or a filtration device with you for your safety.

This portion of the forest is characterized by steep rugged terrain with a predominantly oak/hickory overstory. Access into the interior part of the hunting area is limited, but closed forest roads provide ideal foot paths. This particular area is not recommended for the casual hiker since it is, in addition to breathtaking, steep terrain. There are several maintained wildlife openings and ponds scattered throughout the area which provide for the seasonal food and water needs for abundant wildlife. Spirits Creek and Salt Fork Creek run north-south through the area and provide water most of the year.

Walk-in turkey hunting areas are the result of hunters requesting opportunities to hunt on public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service in a place free of disturbance from motor vehicles.
The forest has predominantly large, mature bottomland hardwood with some pine and dense understory vegetation. The area is generally flat, with some steep slopes near drainage and lies along Crowley's Ridge. Drainage areas are common and prone to flood during periods of heavy rainfall. Two large lakes and 3 major rivers flow through the area. Access is by walking in on closed roads or foot trails that lead into the heart of the hunting area. There are numerous wildlife openings that are maintained year round to provide diverse and healthy wildlife habitats. Several developed and dispersed recreation areas provide camping opportunities.
Some land along the borders of the St. Francis Walk-In Turkey Hunting Area is privately owned. Hunters are asked to respect private land boundaries shown on forest service maps.
All interior roads leading into the walk-in turkey area are closed permanently in this region. Restricting vehicle traffic protects turkeys during the critical nesting and brood rearing seasons.
Unlike the other walk-in turkey hunting areas in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests, this particular hunting area is unique because the areas are scattered along the length of the forest, not all in one section

In 1987 a volunteer group, Friends of White Rock, began a project to renovate the structures. With a lot of hard work, the cabins and lodge were restored in 1991. Visitors to White Rock Mountain enjoy scenic views from the cabins. White Rock Mountain is 2,260 feet above sea level and received its name from the appearance of the lichen on the sheer bluffs that look white from a distance. High bluffs surround this area. Please use caution while along the bluff line, especially with small children. White Rock Mountain is the hub of several trail systems. It offers a 13.4-mile loop trail south to Shores Lake and returns to intersect with the Ozark Highlands Trail. Around the rim of the mountaintop is a 1.5-mile loop trail. 3 rental cabins and a lodge. All three feature stone fireplaces and original furniture. The lodge can accommodate up to 30 people a night and is accessible to the physically challenged. The cabins can be rented year-round. 8 family camping units with tent pads and fire pits and one group site that will accommodate up to 10 guests. 8 family picnicking units.

Among its founding members included those who aided in the defense of the Amistad captives in 1839. The AMA helped put the abolishment of slavery onto the national political agenda.
Although it was a national association, the AMA focused its financial and other resources to help Border States (where free and slave states adjoined) operate the Underground Railroad. The region of southern Illinois, including today’s Shawnee National Forest, proved vital to their cause and became a focal point. The letters of James West, an AMA preacher, confirm that Pope County and Miller Grove were a hotbed of anti-slavery activity.
Over 300 missionaries, called “colporteurs,” were stationed throughout southern Illinois which they referred to as “Egypt.” They arrived there with aspirations of changing the hearts and minds of local citizens by preaching and passing out Bibles. They also distributed antislavery literature including their own magazine, the American Missionary, published from 1846 through 1934.
Literacy and education was a focus of the AMA. They believed that the anti-literacy laws perpetuated slavery by enslaving minds as well as bodies. During the Civil War the AMA began to build schools for freedmen. By 1866, they had chartered seven higher education institutions for African Americans and helped in the establishment of Howard University.
In 1934, the Board of Homeland Ministries absorbed the AMA. It was taken over by the by the United Church Board of Homeland Ministries in 1987.

The community of free African Americans in Pope County, Illinois came to be known as Miller Grove, presumably named for one of four families that settled the area.
In 1844, the Miller family helped establish a small community of rural dispersed farmsteads. Harrison Miller - the founder and patriarch of the town - brought his wife Lucinda and their three children from a Tennessee plantation to the woodlands of Pope County.
Although Harrison and his immediate family could not read nor write, education was important to him and the community of Miller Grove. Harrison served as an executor for a nearby former slave owner’s estate; later he became the owner and the land was used for the Mt. Gilead African Methodist Episcopal Church as well as a school. Sadly, the original log church burnt down in 1918.
In 1860, the census showed Julia Singleton as a Black schoolteacher. Julia was a freed African American from Peter Singleton, one of the four original Miller Grove families. Archeologists recently found writing slates at Miller-connected sites.
Harrison and Lucinda’s eldest son, Bedford, arrived in southern Illinois as a child and continued to live in the Miller Grove community until his death in 1911. Bedford married Abby Gill and they had four daughters. Their graves can be seen in the cemetery among a hundred others, the only lasting element of Miller Grove in today’s Shawnee National Forest.
Other Millers included Andrew Miller and his sister, Matilda, who moved from a Tennessee plantation after being granted freedom from their owner.

The Fremont Point cabin is a reconstructed cabin perched on a vertical rocky overlook with spectacular, sweeping views of Summer Lake and the high desert Great Basin. Reopened in 2015, this solid and comfortable cabin accommodates 3-4 people in a remote and tranquil setting. The cabin can be rented throughout the year, but be aware that its 7,135 foot elevation means that snow can inhibit access to the cabin.
The Fremont Point cabin was rebuilt after the 2002 Winter Rim fire destroyed the 1931 original. Before it became a rental, it was used as a sleeping cabin for about 50 years by people who manned the fire lookout. The new cabin was constructed to preserve its historic roots.
The 24 x 16 feet cabin features a bunk bed and a double bed, both with mattresses, a dining table with four chairs, a fireplace and small kitchen area. Kitchen amenities include a mid-sized refrigerator, sink (but no running water), propane cooktop with four burners, counter space, and shelving. Outside you’ll find a picnic table, fire ring, and new vault toilet. A wrap-around porch and wood storage box complete the exterior. Situated about 1/4 mile beyond the day use area, there is a privacy gate where visitors enter their reservation code to gain access.
Wildlife viewing is abundant near the Fremont Point cabin. Recreation opportunities include hunting along Winter Rim to the west, and hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding along the Fremont National Recreation Trail. The trail is just 200 yards from the cabin. In the winter, cross country skiing and snowmobiling are popular pursuits. The cabin sits about 13 miles from the Pole Butte Sub Station, with a warming hut situated mid-way.

Today, you can explore the vintage guard station and garage from the outside and learn more about its history on the information kiosk. There are two picnic tables, two charcoal barbecues, and one vault toilet, making Pelican a good place for a lunch or pit stop.
A mixed conifer forest shades the day use area and it borders the riparian area of Varney Creek. There is a Nature Watch Interpretive Site across the street at the Pelican barn, which was added a couple years after the guard station.
One notable attraction at the Pelican Guard Station is the mortar rock fireplace built with basalt cobbles that are common to the area. A “P” to signify “Pelican” is embedded on the fireplace with red cinder blocks and bottle caps. The “P” is a reminder of past residents of Pelican Guard Station who battled forest fires.

The area that surrounds the cabin is home to an abundance of wildlife, including deer and elk. It is also a bird watcher’s paradise as well, with a variety of species including sparrows, jays, Sandhill cranes and woodpeckers.
Aspen Cabin is located approximately 35 minutes northeast of Lakeview, Oregon. It was built in 1930 and originally used as an administrative cabin and fire guard station by the U.S. Forest Service. It also served as a warming shelter for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers during the 1990s. Today, this historic cabin offers guests a cozy and rustic lodging in a secluded, wooded setting.
The one-room cabin is designed to accommodate up to four people and is furnished with four cots, a dining table and chairs, countertop space for food preparation and a wood stove for heating. A picnic table, campfire ring, and BBQ pedestal are located near the cabin, as well as a vault toilet. Guests must provide water, firewood and all other camping supplies. Water jugs can be filled at Mud Creek Campground approximately 1.5 miles away.
Aspen Cabin is an ideal location to pursue recreation activities like day hiking and mountain biking. Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail is three miles to the southwest and accessed at the Walker Trailhead. The Drake McDowell Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area lies two miles to the east.
Aspen Cabin was built during the summer of 1930 and was originally used as a Ranger Station by US Forest Service employees and later became a fire guard station. The work was hard, and the wages low, but Aspen Cabin was a home away from home for Forest Service employees.
No longer needed as a guard station, the cabin was not used during the 1980s. The Forest Service entered into a partnership with a local snowmobiling club to use the cabin as a warming shelter for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers during the 1990s.

Drake Peak Lookout is located approximately one hour northeast of Lakeview, Oregon. It was built in 1948 and served as a U.S. Forest Service fire lookout for the surrounding area. Still featured in the lookout is an Osborne Firefinder, a large disk with map and compass directions. This device helped lookout personnel pinpoint fire locations. Today, the lookout offers guests solitude, relaxation, and access to recreation.
The 14 x 14 foot lookout is furnished with lights, a cook stove, a wood stove for heating, fold-up cots, and a small table and chair. A picnic table and vault toilet are located near the building. Guests must provide water, firewood, and all other camping supplies. Potable water is available at at Mud Creek Campground approximately six miles away.
The area that surrounds the lookout is home to an abundance of wildlife, including deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and birds. In the fall migrating geese, ducks and swans fly overhead. It is also an ideal location to pursue recreation activities like day hiking and mountain biking. Hiking to Drake Peak from the lookout is a popular recreational venture. Hikers and mountain bikers can also access the Fremont and Crane Mountain National Recreation Trails from the nearby South Fork Crooked Creek Trailhead.
Drake Peak, an L-4 Aladdin ground house cabin, was built in 1948 on the crest of the Warner Mountain Range and has been used as a fire lookout since then. Half a century ago, the life of a forest lookout was full of long, lonely hours with no time off. Groceries and other supplies were brought in by packers on horseback or by mule. During daylight hours, lookouts scanned the region watching for lightning, flames, curls of smoke – anything that might hint at the start of a forest fire. The moment they spotted something, they telephoned the information and location to the Ranger Station, and then helped with mapping the blaze if it spread.

The lookout was built in 1931 with materials packed in on horseback and served as a fire detection site for over 50 years.
Due to the lack of vegetation on Bald Butte, there isn’t any shade, but the high elevation and mountain breezes stabilize the temperature. The windows open in the lookout, keeping the inside cool and the air circulating. The cozy 14’ x 14’ space sleeps two people comfortably. Guests will find two cots, a table, bench, and storage cabinets. Other amenities include a propane stove, heater, and lights. A vault toilet, picnic table, and fire ring complete the outside features. There is no water on site, so guests must bring sufficient supplies for drinking, cooking, and washing. Guest must also provide their own sleeping bags, linens, towels, dish soap, matches, cooking gear, first aid kit, toilet paper, ice cooler, and garbage bags. Although lighting is available, it is recommended that guests bring an additional light source in case of emergencies.
At night the lookout provides an unforgettable setting for stargazing, thanks to its exposed summit. Bald Butte Lookout offers restful views, convenience to hiking trails and tranquility and seclusion that’s reachable by car (you can drive right up to the lookout.)
Built in the summer of 1931, Bald Butte Lookout served as a Forest Service fire detection site for over 50 years. It was constructed from an Aladdin L4 Ground-mounted Lookout kit; all of the pieces were pre-cut in six-foot lengths or less so the entire kit could be packed by horses into the remote site. The total cost of the structure at the time was $668.49 and only took a few days to assemble.
By 1992, the lookout was abandoned and reduced to shambles by vandals and the elements of weather. Fortunately, a number of Fremont-Winema National Forests employees took an interest in restoring the old lookout as a Passport in Time project to preserve it for the future and provide a recreational rental opportunity for forest visitors. Forest Service employees worked together during the 1993 and 1994 summers to restore the lookout and build the period furniture from original 1930s plans.

The trailhead, elevation 4,800 feet, sits on the eastern edge of the Cascade Range, serving up cold, powdery snow and crisp, sunny days. It’s a lively ride on your snowmobile to pristine Miller Lake, just 12 miles from the Sno-Park. The snowmobile trail clearly connects to a larger network of trails.
The multiple cross country ski trails are groomed sporadically by volunteers each winter. Groomed or ungroomed, they offer a classic skiing experience. The generally easy trails cut through a pine plantation and mature ponderosas. Two hilltops, one beginner and one moderate, offer views of Mount Thielsen and surrounding peaks. The trails are usually covered with snow from mid-December through mid-March.
Campground: Campers are welcome at Walt Haring year-round at any of the 10 campsites. The four vaulted toilets, at Walt Haring Sno-Park, receive year round maintenance. However, the trailer dump station and potable water are available only during the summer time. You can also use the picnic tables and fire grates for picnicking and relaxing. The spacious, log-style warming hut offers shelter, a wood stove, and benches on a first come, first served basis. Walt Haring is often used for hunting camps in the fall.

McLoughlin Trail which is an arduous trail that climbs Mt. McLoughlin within Sky Lakes Wilderness. Reach the Pacific Crest Trail via Mt. Mcloughlin Trail after about 1 mile from the trailhead.
The Mt. Mcloughlin trailhead is located 45 minutes northwest of Klamath Falls, Oregon. The trailhead parking lot is spacious with room for 15-20 vehicles, but not stock trailers. Horses are not recommended on this steep and challenging hike. This trailhead has one vault toilet and picnic tables. However, no camping is allowed.
We encourage everyone who wishes to climb this amazing mountain to familiarize themselves with the information included in this map:
Ascending Mt. McLoughlin: The hike from the trailhead to the top of the peak involves an elevation gain of about 4,000 feet. There is no water along the summit trail; cary enough liquids for your needs! After the trail leaves the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail behind (approximately 1.5 miles from the trailhead parking lot), the trail ascends through a boulder-strewn forest. Watch for blazed trees that function as trail markers! Above the timberline, piled-up rock cairns mark the route to the ridgetop summit route. Due to steep slopes, poor footing and coarse bare rock, horses are not recommended for the Mt. McLoughlin Trail above its junction with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
Descending Mt. McLoughlin: The trail can be difficult to follow during the descent, particularly if it is getting late and the light is fading. Stay alert for trail blazes and familiar landmarks. Look back up the trail occassionally; this may help you stay on it as you go down. If you lose the trail and cannot find it again, the best direction to travel would be to the east or southeast (which will take you either to the Pacific Crest Trail or Highway 140).
CAUTION! Each year, a number of people become disoriented or lost on the way back down, usually due to coming down a different route than they used when climbing the mountain. As tempting as it may seem to descend the sandy, cinder slope on the south side of the mountain, the lower you go on this slope, the farther away you are from the trail. Once down to the timberline, it is a 2-mile, boulder-hopping hike northeast back to the trail.
To avoid getting lost and disoriented, hikers should return back down the ridge, keeping the poles in sight until the trail leaves the ridge.
Know Before You Go: Although summertime weather is usually mild at the mountain's base, the summit is subject to cold winds, driving rains, lightning, and snow storms. Be prepared for weather changes, and know the symptoms and treatment of hypothermia. Bring along warm, rain-repellent clothing.

Great Meadows Sno-Park is located 35 minutes west of Klamath Falls, Oregon. It was specifically designed as a Sno-Park with land from a construction phase in the 1940s. Today the expansive 1.5 acre parking lot accommodates up to 50 vehicles with trailers in the winter, making it an ideal destination for snowmobiling.
Great Meadows lies adjacent to a swath of meadow land.

The trailhead is a jumping off point to trails within Mountain Lakes Wilderness (no snowmobiles are allowed in Wilderness) to the southeast, and connects to the family trail loop to Lake of the Woods Resort.
Snowmobilers can cruise from Great Meadows to Diamond Lake and connect with a network of trails that crisscross Southern Oregon. The snowmobile trails around Great Meadows are well-maintained. In a typical winter, 150-250 miles of trails are groomed every week. Douglas, Red Shasta, White firs and lodgepole pines shadow the trails around the meadow, with a sprinkling of aspen trees on the west end.
Although Great Meadows Sno Park attracts winter sports enthusiasts, it is open year round and presents birding and other recreational opportunities. Snow fall varies every year, but usually the Sno-Park is ready for use mid-November to mid-December through early March.
There is no potable water. Visitors need to bring plenty of water.

All this water provides a variety of recreation and diversity of wildlife- from deer, black bears and turkeys to wading birds, ospreys and alligators. Canoeing and fishing are popular on blackwater creeks and saltwater marshes. The Croatan is also home to the carnivorous Venus fly-trap, sunder and pitcherplant.
The Croatan National Forest has one Ranger District, the Croatan Ranger District. Please contact the District for more information.
Enjoy camping or a picnic at one of the many day-use areas. A list of camping and day-use areas in the Croatan National Forest can be found here.
The national forests in North Carolina offer a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities. From the mountains to the sea, there are many exciting adventures awaiting your visit to these national forests.

This recreation area is a dynamic place affected by hurricanes, rising sea levels, and insect epidemics, such as Southern pine beetles that devastate nearby pine trees.

Famous for its spectacular natural gardens of Catawba rhododendrons,
Roan Mountain shelters a rich diversity of life, from spruce-fir forests to vast grassy balds. Roan Mountain is actually not one mountain, but a high ridge about 5 miles long. It ranges from a height of 6,286 feet at Roan High Knob to a low of 5,500 feet at Carver’s Gap. No one knows the origin of the mountain’s name. Some claim the name refers to the roan or reddish color of the mountain when rhododendrons bloom in June, or the mountain ash berries appear in September. Others say the name comes from Daniel Boone’s roan horse, because he and his horse were frequent visitors.

The Forest is divided into three Districts, Cheoah in Robbinsville, NC, Tusquitee in Murphy, NC, and the Nantahala in Franklin, NC. All district names come from the Cherokee language. "Nantahala" is a Cherokee word meaning "land of the noon day sun," a fitting name for the Nantahala Gorge, where the sun only reaches to the valley floor at midday.The Nantahala National Forest was established in 1920 under authority of the 1911 Weeks Act. This act provided authority to acquire lands for national forests to protect watersheds, to provide timber, and to regulate the flow of navigable streams. In the Nantahala National Forest, visitors enjoy a wide variety of recreational activities from whitewater rafting to camping. With over 600 miles of trails, opportunities exist for hikers, mountain bikers, horse-back riders and off-highway vehicle riders.
Enjoy camping or a picnic at one of the many day-use areas. A list of camping and day-use areas in the Nantahala National Forest can be found here.

Whitewater Falls owes its existence to the Blue Ridge Escarpment, a sharp drop in elevation between the mountains and the Piedmont.
With a 411-foot plunge, Upper Whitewater Falls in North Carolina is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies. South Carolina’s Lower Whitewater Falls falls another 400 feet.
Because of the escarpment’s difficult access and rugged terrain, much of the area receives few visitors and has remained wild and undeveloped over the years.
In the cool, moist shade of the steep slopes and rock cliffs, wildflowers and salamanders can be found. This wild land is also a perfect haven for a rich array of ferns, mosses and fungi. Enjoy the beauty of blooms and berries throughout the seasons.
Whitewater Falls experiences extremely high visitor volume during the middle of the day and on holidays. It is recommended that visitors plan their visit for the morning or evening hours.

Hanging Dog Campground will not re-open. For more information see this news release.
Day use facilities on Hiwassee Lake remain open.
Just five miles from Murphy, N.C., Hanging Dog Recreation Area is a great destination for a scenic drive or for a day outing with family and friends.
Get in the Water. Hanging Dog Recreation Area offers year-round access to Hiwassee Lake. A popular place for fishing and boating, you’ll find plenty of places along Hiwassee’s 180-mile shore to relax and cast a line. From June through October, launch your motor boat from the ramp at the end of State Road (SR) 1447. Between the months of November and June, Ramsey Bend boat launch on FR 652F, approximately 1.5 miles off of SR 1447, provides deep-water access. Water skiing and kayaking are also popular on Hiwassee Lake. For an adventure, try kayaking on Hiwassee River and Lake between Murphy and Hanging Dog. An accessible fishing pier, to the left just before the end of SR 1447, offers additional angler access. There are no swimming facilities at this recreation area.
Practice these safety tips when enjoying water activities:
Check out the Sites. View the scenery from a picnic table overlooking the lake. A large pavilion provides a place for groups to gather for a meal. Restrooms with vault toilets are nearby. Stretch your legs and explore the forest along two 1-mile trails. The Mingus Trail starts at the upper boat ramp parking lot and ends at a trailhead shared with the Ramsey Bluff Trail off SR 1447. Ramsey Bluff Trail offers views of Hiwassee Lake. If you are interested in Cherokee Indian history, imagine the village that once lay where the lake is now. In the 1830s, the historic Trail of Tears passed nearby.
Follow the Trail. In the Hanging Dog area, there are several opportunities for mountain biking. Hike or ride your mountain bike on the moderately-difficult Ramsey Bluff Mountain Biking System that provides 8 miles of trails. Plenty of trailhead parking is provided at the end of SR 1447.

The goals are to protect and preserve its natural resources and wilderness character and provide for public use. The Wilderness includes 5,160 acres at the northern end of the Uwharrie Mountains.
These mountains are considered to be the oldest on the North American Continent. Evidence of early Indians dates back over 12,000 years. The Catawba Indians inhabited the area when the Europeans began exploring the region in the late 1600’s. By 1760 settlement had begun in earnest, opened up by the explorers and traders along the Ocaneechi Trail.
The Birkhead family raised a son, John Watson (Watt), who was born in 1858. The 3,000 acres that he acquired over the years were made up of many small tenant farms. Thus the mountain range became known locally as the Birkhead Mountains.
This old plantation is the core of the Wilderness. Remember, as you use the Wilderness, your challenge is to leave no trace of your passing. This will protect and preserve the area as true wilderness. Evidence of early Indians and settlers can often be found. These archeological and historic artifacts and sites hold clues to America's past. If disturbed , a part of our heritage is lost forever. Federal law protects such sites and artifacts on public land. If you discover such remains please leave them undisturbed.
All trails within the Wilderness are designated hiking trails. Travel by horse, motorized vehicle or bicycle is prohibited. A detailed map of the Wilderness is available at the District Ranger’s Office.

Fishing Badin Lake
The biggest fishing hole in the Uwharrie National Forest is Badin Lake. This 5,350-acre impoundment of the Yadkin River was built in 1917 by the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) to generate hydroelectric power for the aluminum plant at Badin. The eastern shore borders the National Forest and the lake is well stocked with catfish, bream, largemouth, white and striped bass.
The Forest Service has one launching site at the Cove Boat Ramp. The State has two ramps on the lake. Marinas offer easy access for everything from jon-boats to pontoons. The lake is crowded with pleasure boats on spring and summer weekends. Well attended bass tournaments are usually held every weekend from March through October.
In early spring, fish are spawning and feeding well. Look for bluegill beds. These are circular depressions in the shallows. Catch them with crickets, worms or artificial bait. Fish along downed trees or stumps in the water for crappie and bass. Crappies will take minnows or jigs. For largemouth bass, you are going to have to work at it and try different lures. Look for largemouth around the rocky points.
Small spinners are always good for feeding bluegill. Fly rod experts can put a hurting on a bream bed. Most white bass anglers use a black and chartreuse jig rigged about three feet under a weighted bobber. This set-up takes crappie too. White bass and crappie are caught by the score, especially in the spring.
Carolina rigged plastic worms and lizards in assorted colors are local favorites for largemouth in the spring. Fishing live crawfish or minnows just off the bottom with a cork is an old fashioned, but effective, way to catch largemouth bass. An eight-pounder is a big'un at Badin but 3-to-4 pound fish are abundant.
The State stocks about 25,000 striper fingerlings every year and Badin is known as a dependable put-and-take striper lake. Anglers can limit-out on 5 to 12 pound fish with a rare 20-pounder. Trolling live shad is the best way to catch stripers. Bottom fishing with chicken livers or cut-up shad will land catfish and stripers. A good rule is, "bigger bait for bigger fish". Look for excited sea gulls working the water and you will likely find a school of frightened shad under attack by hungry stripers. Big, shiny top-water plugs are the way to go when that happens. Taking a striper on top water is probably the biggest thrill going on Badin Lake, unless it's winching up a 60-pound plus record catfish from the bottom.
When the turbines are running in the Tuckertown dam, shad and other fish are sucked in, chewed up and spit out downstream where hungry stripers and catfish gorge themselves on easy pickings. Anglers brave the turbulent waters and clean up while fishing cut-bait during these tailrace feeding frenzies. Thirty and forty-pound catfish are caught regularly here. Anglers may have to share the airspace with the bald eagles that have discovered this fishy feast, as the eagles are coming back to the Uwharries.
During the summer fish move to deeper water where it is cooler. The best times to fish are one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset. Larger fish move deep because it's too hot for them in the shallows. That is when deep running crank baits work best for largemouth bass or aggressive stripers. Because fish are cold-blooded they move to deep, warm areas in the fall and will not bite as aggressively when the temperature cools down. Many largemouth bass and stripers are caught during those warm winter days that all Southern anglers appreciate.

There is a relatively easy two-mile long Memorial Loop Trail in the Memorial Forest, which annually greets more than 35,000 visitors, or there is a complex of hiking trails that cater to more experienced hikers, such as the 13.3 mile long Slickrock Creek Trail, considered as one of the ten toughest trails in the United States. With a 3,700 foot climb overall and 13 stream crossings, this trail is seldom completely traversed, but used in conjunction with the other trails in the Wilderness to provide excellent backpacking trips.
Other than at trailheads, camping is allowed anywhere within the Wilderness using Leave No Trace principles, but given the steepness of the topography, there are a few relatively heavily used back country camping areas. Many fishermen enter the Wilderness from the north using the Slickrock Creek Trail, Ike Branch Trail or hike down to the creek from Big Fat Gap, camping along the creek. Backpackers use the area at Naked Ground on the southern ridge, and there is an area near the Hangover that offers excellent views, but an unreliable water source. Nichols Cove area has good camping spots with abundant water, and some hikers camp near Wildcat Falls, but long sections of the various trails lack suitable spots for camping.
As a designated Wilderness, there are no trail blazes, just signs at trail junctions, so it is essential that hikers carry maps and compass, and know how to use them. It is not uncommon for very experienced hikers to get “confused” for a while in the creek area due to the multiplicity of real trails, unofficial trails, old logging trails, etc. Along the ridge, the trails are well-defined, but physically demanding.

Fishing Badin Lake
The biggest fishing hole in the Uwharrie National Forest is Badin Lake. This 5,350-acre impoundment of the Yadkin River was built in 1917 by the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) to generate hydroelectric power for the aluminum plant at Badin. The eastern shore borders the National Forest and the lake is well stocked with catfish, bream, largemouth, white and striped bass.
The Forest Service has one launching site at the Cove Boat Ramp. The State has two ramps on the lake. Marinas offer easy access for everything from jon-boats to pontoons. The lake is crowded with pleasure boats on spring and summer weekends. Well attended bass tournaments are usually held every weekend from March through October.
In early spring, fish are spawning and feeding well. Look for bluegill beds. These are circular depressions in the shallows. Fish along downed trees or stumps in the water for crappie and bass. Crappies will take minnows or jigs. For largemouth bass, you are going to have to work at it and try different lures. Look for largemouth around the rocky points.
Small spinners are always good for feeding bluegill. Fly rod experts can put a hurting on a bream bed. Most white bass anglers use a black and chartreuse jig rigged about three feet under a weighted bobber. This set-up takes crappie too. White bass and crappie are caught by the score, especially in the spring.
Carolina rigged plastic worms and lizards in assorted colors are local favorites for largemouth in the spring. Fishing live crawfish or minnows just off the bottom with a cork is an old fashioned, but effective, way to catch largemouth bass. The State stocks about 25,000 striper fingerlings every year and Badin is known as a dependable put-and-take striper lake. Anglers can limit-out on 5 to 12 pound fish with a rare 20-pounder. Trolling live shad is the best way to catch stripers. A good rule is, "bigger bait for bigger fish". Big, shiny top-water plugs are the way to go when that happens. Taking a striper on top water is probably the biggest thrill going on Badin Lake, unless it's winching up a 60-pound plus record catfish from the bottom.
When the turbines are running in the Tuckertown dam, shad and other fish are sucked in, chewed up and spit out downstream where hungry stripers and catfish gorge themselves on easy pickings. Anglers brave the turbulent waters and clean up while fishing cut-bait during these tailrace feeding frenzies. Thirty and forty-pound catfish are caught regularly here. Anglers may have to share the airspace with the bald eagles that have discovered this fishy feast, as the eagles are coming back to the Uwharries.

A small-craft boat ramp and fishing pier provides easy access to the river and its bounty. The shallow water is suited to flat-bottom boats. Canoes and kayaks can navigate the maze of canals through the salt march. From the boat ramp, paddle around the point, then pass under the boardwalk of the Tideland Trail. Be aware of the tides; an extremely low tide can leave some canals dry. The loop is shown on the map is about 2 miles and can be completed in half a day.
The campground has 36 sites with electrical hookups, a bathhouse with flush toilets, warm showers, drinking water and a ramp for shallow water boats. Picnic tables are nearby. The Cedar Point Tideland Trail crosses boardwalks to explore the salt marsh and the life above and beneath.
Common birds around the salt marsh:
Osprey*, Red-tail hawk, Turkey vulture, Fish crow, Common egret, Snowy egret, Great blue heron, Tri-colored heron, Little blue heron, Red-winged blackbird, Boat-tail grackle, Belted kingfisher.

While Dog Mountain Trail tends to be the more popular route up, it is one of the most strenuous hikes in the Gorge due to its steep upward climb. It passes through an even-aged stand of old growth conifers, with an understory carpet of Oregon grape.
Those who choose to loop around via Augspurger Trail will not be disappointed by glimpses of the Columbia River meandering around Wind Mountain towards the western Gorge. Be prepared for potentially dramatic weather changes as you approach the summit.
The Dog Mountain fee site includes a gravel parking area, picnic table and vault toilet at the trailhead. For your safety, please remember that parking along Washington State Route 14 (SR-14) to access the Dog Mountain Trailhead is discouraged and visitors who park illegally may be fined and towed.

Spend a night outdoors in the Forest Service's first developed campground, which originally opened in 1916 at the dawn of America's love affair with car camping! Located in the central Columbia River Gorge, the campground is great for a weekend of hiking, boating, fishing, and other adventures in one of the most scenic places in the Pacific Northwest. Campsites are situated between large trees atop a bluff above Eagle Creek and the Columbia River. Interstate 84 and a railroad run nearby, so the campground may be too noisy for some (especially sites 7-14).
Out of the 17 campsites, 14 must be reserved at www.recreation.gov and three are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reserve early -- up to six months in advance -- to ensure a spot at this popular campground, which books up early between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Reservations are strongly encouraged, as the three walk-up sites fill quickly on summer weekends.
Each site has a paved parking spot, and most are fully accessible. A full-time host is on site. The site is best for tent camping, as there are no RV hookups and a 20 foot trailer limit due to small spaces and tight curves on the road leading up to the campground. A new vault toilet constructed in 2018 preserves the site's historic charm with its rugged Cascadian architecture.
The campground is part of the Eagle Creek Recreation Area which also features the Historic Eagle Creek Trail. The trail was built along a cliff overlooking Eagle Creek, starting in 1916, and still considered one of the most popular and scenic hikes in the Gorge. Several other area trails, including Buck Point, Ruckel Creek #405, and Wauna Point #402, are still closed from the 2017 fire.
In fall, the nearby picnic area is a good site to watch spawning salmon, and there are fishing opportunities nearby, but campers must possess a valid Oregon fishing license and follow state rules. The Gorge has many other adventures to offer, including water sports, agricultural tourism, museums, and day hikes.

On site remains the famous historic restroom (currently closed) nicknamed "Big John." The 1916 structure was the first flush toilet in the U.S. Forest Service.
Look for the historic Community Kitchen Pavilion perched on the hillside, which is wheelchair accessible. Stone ovens and an old trail register sit on the road to the trailhead.

Due to post-fire hazards on the landscapes, many other area trails including Ruckel Creek Trail #405 are still closed while crews clear and stabilize trails.
The roads have tight curves, so trailers longer than 20 feet trailer cannot fit into this recreation area.
The paved Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, great for road biking or a scenic run, runs to the town of Cascade Locks to the east and runs west to connect with the Historic Columbia River Highway Waterfall Corridor (where bikes must share the road with cars).
The state-run Cascade Hatchery is located onsite, offering self-guided tours. During the fall, visitors can view chinook and coho salmon spawning at Eagle Creek.

This 1,500-acre natural area is a gateway from Portland to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area that offers horseback riding, hiking, biking (but e-bikes are not allowed), wading, and fishing. Acquired by the Forest Service in 1991, the delta is managed to restore and protect scenic, cultural, recreational, and natural resources in the river bottomlands where the Sandy River meets the Columbia River. The delta's forests and meadows have been under ecological restoration for decades, and in 2013, an old dike was removed from the Sandy River, restoring its natural channel and improving habitat for salmon and steelhead.
A “key viewing area,” the delta offers spectacular views of the western Columbia Gorge. Rich in biological diversity, it was long the site of thriving native culture and was even visited by the Lewis and Clark expedition. Over eight miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails offer year round recreation. East of the buck and rail fence, a closed Wildlife Habitat Zone supports migratory birds and wildlife.
Seasonal waterfowl hunting by shotgun at the site is only allowed on lands northeast of the buck and rail fence and powerlines, for those holding a valid state hunting license or exercising tribal rights.
Please conserve and care for the Sandy River Delta by practicing “Leave No Trace” principles. This means keeping dogs under control, ensuring they do not alter the landscape by digging holes, and by packing out their waste. Pets must be leashed in the parking, bathroom, and picnic areas and along Confluence Trail.

Sites 1 and 2 are available on a first-come, first-served basis only; however, with the Gorge's busy pace all summer these spots also fill quickly. Its location in the central Columbia River Gorge makes it a a convenient basecamp for the Gorge's many outdoor adventures and historic sites. Like most Gorge campsites, it is near a railroad and interstate so campers should expect some background noise.
No hookups are available, but there is potable water onsite. Only small trailers and RVs, less than 30 feet overall in length fit, so the campsites are best suited for tent camping.
From the campsite, visitors can day hike the Gorge Trail #400 from the small Gorton Creek Trailhead to the southwest of the campground. A recently restored segment of the Historic Columbia River Highway that runs from Wyeth to Viento State Park passes through talus slopes, spectacular views, waterfalls, and mossy forests. Campers could also bike about three miles east along Wyeth Bench Road to grab a meal or explore local shops in Cascade Locks. Note that adventurous types could bike to water access at either Viento State Park (the day use area provides water access) or via Blackberry Beach in the Cascade Locks area.
The Wyeth area has an interesting history, as it was an early settlement site and was later used as a CCC camp in the 1930's and a Conscientious Objector camp in the 1940's. History buffs can learn more at nearby museums in Cascade Locks, Hood River, Stevenson or at Bonneville Dam.

More than two million visitors stop by each year to view the unique 620-foot falls. Fed by underground springs from nearby Larch Mountain, the flow over the falls varies and is usually highest during the winter and spring seasons. Multnomah Falls is one of the top places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to study the geology exposed by floods. Six volcanic flows of Grande Ronde Basalt are visible in the fall’s cliff face, representing more than 400,000 years of geological history.
Larch Mountain Trail #441 at Multnomah Falls is one of the most popular hikes in the Columbia River Gorge. From the Multnomah Falls visitor center, a steep trail climbs to cross the historic Benson Bridge. Beyond the bridge those seeking a more rigorous experience can continue to the top of the cliff and take a short spur trail to a small viewing area at the very top of the falls. The total distance to the top of the falls and back is 2.4 miles and around 600’ of elevation or the equivalent of 60 flights of stairs on uneven, steep terrain. Please consider whether you have the sturdy footwear and the 10 hiking essentials before continuing onwards after the bridge.
On the lower level of Multnomah Falls Lodge there is a public Visitor Center, snack bar, gift shop and adjacent accessible restrooms. The fully accessible restaurant is located on the upper level and can be accessed by stairs or elevator.
The Visitor Center is jointly staffed by Friends of Multnomah Falls volunteers and the Forest Service. Offerings include a simple trail map and brochures about Multnomah Falls in multiple languages.
Reservations are required to visit Multnomah Falls from late May through early September daily from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Get a timed reservation permit online at for a $2.00 transaction fee.

These trails wind through an area strip-mined in the 1960's and 1970's. Much of the upland area was badly scarred, and some areas are left with steep slopes providing challenging trails to riders. The area is also known for its fishing ponds, 51 of which are available for fishing. The ponds which are scattered along the OHV trail, lend a picturesque backdrop to an OHV ride.
Trail Advisory-Wayne National Forest Supervisor Anthony Scardina has issued a Closure Order for a portion of the Telegraph Trail, located on the Ironton Ranger District in Lawrence County. The order is necessary to prevent unlawful access to private property and to protect national forest property and resources. The order includes a 3.2-mile section of trail located between the Telegraph Trailhead and the intersection of Brushy Fork Road. The Forest Service has determined that the section of trail is on private property and will need to be rerouted.
The order does not include the Telegraph Trailhead near State Route 93. Off-highway vehicle riders will need to find another option to access the Pine Creek OHV Trail System. Riders can access the trail system from the Lyra and Wolcott Trailheads.
The order will remain in effect until it has been terminated by the Forest Supervisor. An order violation is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual and $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for not more than (6) months, or both.

", "OPERATIONAL_HOURS": "The Underground Railroad consisted of a large secret network of travel routes and safe havens for freedom-seekers escaping slavery in the mid-19th century. The Ohio River divided freedom and enslavement along several Border States, including Ohio.
Like most states achieving statehood after Congress issued the Northwest Ordinance in 1787 – which forbid slavery in states entering the union north of the Ohio River – Ohio’s population was split between pro-slavery and anti-slavery sentiments. However, its location along the Ohio River meant that there were great opportunities to support the Underground Railroad. By the 1830s, Ohio became a hotbed for Underground Railroad activities. While many freedom seekers passed through Ohio at various entry points, others settled into the state.
Archaeologists and volunteers at the Wayne National Forest, in collaboration with the Friends of Freedom Society, the Multicultural Genealogical Center, and several historically Black Colleges, have focused research on two 19th century African-American settlements. These settlements, Paynes Crossing and Poke Patch, existed primarily from the 1820s to the 1880s. The small homesteads consisted of free Blacks, Whites, and Native Americans. Because of the settlements’ prime locations, both towns most likely served as stations on the Underground Railroad. Only a church and two cemeteries remain today.

Paynes Crossing
In the mid-19th century, routes toward freedom for escaped slaves went in several directions on the Underground Railroad. Freedom seekers relied on forests, rivers, and other landscape features for natural paths. Often freedom seekers headed north from slave states through the free state of Ohio. In Ohio, freedom seekers were likely to have come across the free Black community of Paynes Crossing, located in today’s Wayne National Forest.
Paynes Crossing was near New Straitsville, Ohio where farming and the iron industry dominated the landscape. It was a small community established in the 1830s by free Black migrants from Virginia. By the 1850s, African American families owned most of the land.
Research indicates that Paynes Crossing was a logical stop along the Underground Railroad and that the community’s residents were active in aiding freedom seekers. Today, only a cemetery remains as a physical clue about the stories of Paynes Crossing.

At the turn of the century, the industry developed in the Hanging Rock Iron Region of Ohio and Kentucky which became the largest iron producer in the US.
The Hanging Rock region produced iron from 1818 to 1916 and was one of three in the country capable of producing the iron needed during the Civil War. Not long after the war, the iron boom in Hanging Rock ceased. Hanging Rock’s Vesuvius Furnace, located on today’s Wayne National Forest, is a remnant of 1 of the 46 furnaces in the region.
The iron boom brought in workers who often lived in company towns. Company towns compensated workers with company “money” that could be used only within the town. Ironmasters owned the furnaces and managed company towns.
Ironmasters tended to be abolitionists and often provided support to the Underground Railroad as conductors or station masters. Furnaces and the connecting company towns provided safe havens and financial aid for freedom seekers. Several of the routes used by individuals escaping slavery were along the same paths of Ohio’s iron furnaces.
Black Fork settlement, an iron company town located in Lawrence County, Ohio, employed mostly African Americans, some escaped slaves. However, Black Fork was not a common iron company town; most only served as stations on the Underground Railroad - like Vesuvius - instead of final destinations.

It was designed to withstand heavy snow loads and other extreme environmental conditions.
Goose Bay Cabin is a great place for recreation, relaxation and sightseeing on Prince William Sound.

Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Facilities
The A-frame cabin sleeps six and comes equipped with wooden bunks, a table, benches, a kerosene heater and an outside pit toilet. At low tide, guests may have to walk through some mud to get to the ramp from the water. Guests need to bring their own supply of drinking water, as well as heater fuel (Users must supply their own kerosene. 1 gallon will last for ~ 8 hours).

Located on the northwest end of McKinley Lake in the Chugach National Forest, guests will find fishing, hiking, hunting and wildlife viewing all within the vicinity.
Access to the cabin is by hiking, float plane or canoe. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Natural Features: The cabin is situated on McKinley Lake and is surrounded by a dense spruce and hemlock forest. Steep mountainous terrain encircles the area.
Visitors will be treated to an abundance of wildlife. Loons and other waterfowl find habitat on the lake, while sockeye salmon splash and spawn in the nearby creek. Sitka black-tailed deer, moose, black and brown bear also inhabit the forest. Learn more about bear and moose safety in Alaska.
Recreation: McKinley Trail provides access to both the McKinley Trail Cabin, located just 100 yards from the trailhead, and this cabin, which is about 2.25 miles from the trailhead. The trail meets the shoreline of the lake at its southern lobe and at the cove at its upper end. Hiking approximately a quarter-mile beyond the cabin, visitors will find remnants of the Lucky Strike Mine. Rusting machinery, pipes and a collapsed tunnel are the most obvious evidence of the mine site.
At approximately 1.25 miles from the McKinley Trail trailhead is the junction for the Pipeline Lakes Trail, which wanders through muskeg meadows and spruce-hemlock forests below steep mountainsides. In the spring, brown bears can be seen grazing on the new grass on the south-facing slopes.
Anglers will find cutthroat trout near inlet creeks and gravel shoals near the cabin, and more healthy coho and sockeye at the mouth of the lake outlet. Many anglers concentrate on the Dolly Varden that follow the sockeye to eat their eggs. Walking up the Pipeline Lakes Trail, anglers will discover a series of five small lakes with resident cutthroat trout and some Dolly Varden. Using dry flies is the best bet in these lakes.
Hunters can take advantage of a long hunting season in the surrounding national forest. Bear season occurs during spring and fall, while deer season begins in late summer and lasts through late fall.
Facilities: The 16-by-20 cabin is equipped with wooden bunks that sleep up to six guests. The cabin is equipped with a table, benches, wood stove for heat, saw, axe, splitting maul, a rainwater catchment barrel and an outdoor pit toilet.
The cabin does not have running water, electricity or cut firewood. Visitors must bring their own supply of drinking water and firewood.
Visitors must bring food, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, a cook stove, matches, cooking gear, lanterns or flashlights, toilet paper, a first aid kit and garbage bags. All trash and food must be packed out, and visitors are expected to clean the cabin before leaving.

Overview
Shrode Lake Cabin is open year-round, offering the opportunity to enjoy both summer and winter recreation in beautiful Prince William Sound. The cabin is in a secluded location that provides a true backcountry experience.
The site can be accessed by float plane or boat, depending on conditions. Those arriving by boat have two choices.
The Long Bay trailhead is only accessible at very high tides and small shore-going boats (Kayak, packraft or Dinghy).
It's about a 1 mile hike from salt water to the Cabin from the Long Bay trailhead. If accessing the Shrode Lake Cabin from the Three Fingers trailhead, larger boats can motor into the middle (of the three) finger and will see a trailhead sign at the head of the Bay. It's ~2 mile hike from Trailhead to the Cabin and requires a river crossing just before arriving to the Cabin. A third option (from the Three Fingers Trailhead) is to utilize the .5 mile Portage trail (between Salt Water and Shrode Lake) to carry a canoe, kayak or packraft. Then you'll have a ~2 mile paddle along the North shore of Shrode Lake to the cabin. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements, safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

The summer sockeye (red) salmon runs are the ones that draw the infamous crowds, but find solitude and fish on the shoulder season, as well.
With a season that starts in early August and continues into late September, this is your chance to catch the “big one” (coho or silvers average between 10-12 lbs) without all the crowds of summer. Fall silvers can be energetic, so be sure to bring your waterproof gear and a camera to capture your catch and the fall colors.

Byron Glacier Trail
While the Byron Glacier hike is an easy walk along a well-maintained trail in the summer, during the spring, a lot of snow in the upper elevations that haven’t avalanched yet. Avalanche activity may occur in the Byron Valley well into the spring due to sun, above freezing temperatures, and any rain. Unless you have avalanche rescue gear, advanced training, and knowledge to evaluate an avalanche hazard we recommend avoiding Byron trail until summer.

The Civilian Conservation Corps built the complex in 1931 as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. It was one of 11 guard stations built in the area to serve as homes for rangers who patrolled the forest on horseback prior to the modern age of vehicles. The complex includes the guard station, bunkhouse, parking area, and fenced yard. The Ashley National Forest has chosen to rehabilitate and rent this guard station and bunkhouse to the public so that guests can enjoy a rustic experience similar to that of the first rangers.
The complex is set in a rolling pasture, surrounded and interspersed with aspen and pine trees. Wildlife and summer flowers are abundant during the use season.

A destination unto itself for many visitors, the area includes the Red Canyon Overlook and Red Canyon Visitor Center. These sites offer commanding views of the 700' wide and 1,400' deep Red Canyon that frames the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The Red Canyon Visitor Center sits on the southern rim of the Red Canyon above the Flaming Gorge Reservoir overlooking a stunning view into the 1,631 foot canyon. The design of the building was to feature this magnificent view in a safe setting for visitors. Construction began on the Red Canyon Visitor Center in 1964 and was completed by summer of 1965. The architect for this project was Thair H. Blackburn of Ogden Utah.
The center currently provides scenic points of interest, educational programs, natural history, interpretive trails, and recreation information for the larger Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (NRA) as well as other recreational opportunities surrounding the NRA.

Navigate the waters and cast a rod in an adventure the whole family can enjoy. The Green River provides spectacular fishing and river-running opportunities, as well as unique geology, outlaw history and Native American rock art.
The Green River Float-In campsites contain 17 sites for river goers to float and camp along the mighty Green River. Some of these sites can be reached on foot but most of these sites can only be reached by boat.The campsites are nestled alongside the beautiful Green River in an area typical of a high desert environment. These sites are surrounded by shady juniper, cottonwood and ponderosa pine trees and during the summer various species of wildflowers dot the landscape.
Section “A” (Flaming Gorge Dam to Little hole Boat Launch) The A section of the Green River begins just below the Flaming Gorge Dam and proceeds seven miles through a narrow breathtaking canyon to the Little Hole take-out. The towering red canyon cliffs, ponderosa pine, glassy clear water, abundant trout and rapids (class I and II) are what make section "A" of the Green River world famous. The Little Hole National Recreation Trail allows foot access to all 7 miles of this stretch of river.
Section “B” (Little Hole to Brown’s Park) It’s a little more remote but that means there are a lot fewer people, if that’s the experience you’re looking for. Limited access in this section allows for healthy brown trout populations to thrive. There are 17 river camps in Section B that can be accessed only by hiking or floating in. Remember to reserve your site online, in advance, on Recreation.Gov.
Section “C” (Browns Park to the Utah/Colorado Border) Section C is the longest of the three sections. It meanders through the high desert valley of Browns Park to the Colorado state line, with wide open features and a lot of flat water. It’s considered the best place to catch a football size trout on a dry fly, but it is also said to be the most challenging for fishing.
The Green River offers excellent fishing for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. For more information on fishing the Green River, please visit Utah’s Department of Wildlife Resources website .
This campground offers primitive camping near Sheep Creek Lake. There is an unpaved boat launch. No other facilities are available in this campground.

This unpaved overlook offers views of Cajon Pass, home to Interstate 15 and 4 railway lines, this location is popular with railroad fans. Do not venture near the cliff. Open all year.
Cajon Pass is a moderate-elevation mountain pass between the San Bernardino Mountains and the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California in the United States. It was created by the movements of the San Andreas Fault. The Mojave Desert pass provides an important economic link from the Greater San Bernardino Area, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, to Victor Valley, and northeast to Las Vegas.
The California Southern Railroad, a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, was the first railroad to use the Cajon Pass as a route through the mountains. The rail line through the pass was built in the early 1880s as part of a connection between the present day cities of Barstow and San Diego. Today, the Union Pacific Railroad and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway (the successor to the Santa Fe) use this pass to access Los Angeles and San Bernardino. Due to the high volume of trains, noteworthy scenery and easy access, it is a popular location for railfanning, and numerous photographs of trains on Cajon Pass appear in books and magazines about trains. The current Amtrak Chicago-Los Angeles Southwest Chief passenger train travels through the pass.
The Union Pacific Railroad operates and owns one track through the pass, on the previous Southern Pacific Railroad Palmdale cutoff, opened in 1967. The BNSF Railway had two tracks and began to operate a third main track in the summer of 2008. The railroads share track rights through the pass ever since the Union Pacific gained track rights on the Santa Fe portion negotiated under the original Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. The original BNSF (ATSF) line was constructed in 1890 and later roads, U.S. Route 66 and I-15, roughly followed this route.
The railfan community can play a key role in ensuring America’s rail network remains safe from vandalism, terrorism and incidents.
Because America's railroads have a long history in the growth and development of this country, and many people follow the industry and trains with interest, it is only natural to tap that interest to help safeguard railroads from incidents.
In 2006, BNSF was an industry leader in developing the first community-based rail fan reporting program called Citizens for Rail Security (CRS). Since inception rail fans have joined CRS in helping protect the railroad by reporting security violations, trespassers or unusual occurrences. Today, BNSF is broadening that effort by further educating community and legislative groups, police authorities and schools on rail security and how citizens can help.
As part of this education program, a DVD will be distributed to help communities understand the vitality railroads bring to the economy and who and what to report to either the local or railroad police. When possible, BNSF Resource Protection Officers will also make presentations to groups on railroad safety or security in addition to providing the DVDs.
Maintaining a sound and safe rail network is a priority for this nation. Railroads carry hundreds of commodities that help communities and individuals thrive, including lumber, automobiles, chemicals for water purification, coal, and many consumer products.
Help support a safe rail network by joining the Citizens for Rail Security. To report suspicious activity, contact BNSF’s Resource Operations Center at 1-800-832-5452.

Rising abruptly from the desert floor, the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument reaches an elevation of 10,834 feet. Providing a picturesque backdrop to local communities, visitors can enjoy magnificent palm oases, snow-capped mountains, a national scenic trail, and wilderness areas. Its extensive backcountry can be accessed via trails from both the Coachella Valley and the alpine village of Idyllwild.
Jointly managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service, the Monument’s boundary encompasses about 280,000 acres, including public lands within the BLM’s California Desert Conservation Area and the San Jacinto Ranger District of the San Bernardino National Forest. The Monument includes two Federal wilderness areas -- the Santa Rosa and the San Jacinto.
The Monument was established by an Act of Congress on October 24, 2000, "in order to preserve the nationally significant biological, cultural, recreational, geological, educational, and scientific values found in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains" (Public Law 106-351). Establishment of the Monument reflects the vision of local citizens and national leaders to ensure this special landscape is protected for all time.
Information about the Monument can be obtained at each agency office or at the link below. The Idyllwild Ranger Station is a good source for hiking information. The Idyllwild Nature Center offers natural and cultural history exhibits and the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument Visitor Center 760-862-9984 south of Palm Desert on Highway 74, has interpretive displays, information about the Monument, and hosts many events and activities. Mt. San Jacinto State Park has a small visitor center at the top of the Palm Springs Aeriel Tram.

The landscape surrounding Deep Creek is unique in a southern California context, and its recreation opportunities are valued at the regional and national levels. Thermal hot springs located here are unique and regionally important.
Deep Creek supports the greatest diversity of wildlife habitats of any drainage on the San Bernardino National Forest and has earned the State designation of a Wild Trout Stream. It also represents some of the greatest diversity of vegetation communities of any drainage on the national forest. The surrounding area represents a transit conifer forest. The vegetation ranges from sparse creosote, chamise and California buckwheat at lower elevations to oak and pinyon woodland and scattered mixed conifer, healthy riparian habitats are also present.
The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) follows the creek from the Lake Arrowhead area to the Mojave River Forks Dam for 16 miles as part of the 2,650 mile national scenic trail crossing Deep Creek twice on elevated bridges. For more information on the Pacific Crest Trail, visit their website at www.pcta.org.
Also, Deep Creek is home to the Southwestern Arroyo Toad, an endangered species who lives in the sandy shore of the creek. The toad is a small (2.2-2.9 inches), dark-spotted and light-olive green or gray to tan with dark spots and warty skin. The toad lives from confluence of the Mojave River up to an elevation of 4,300 feet usually spending the day burrowed in the sand and coming out at night to forage for food.

Red Mountain Lookout unfortunately burned in the Fairview Fire of September 2022.
Red Mountain (elev. 4,573ft) is located in the southern part of the San Bernardino National Forest southeast of Hemet. Besides having the best views of the southern San Jacinto Mountains. Red Mountain also overlooks parts of the town of Anza, the Cahuilla Indian Reservation, Reed Valley, Bautista Canyon, and has a great view of the new Diamond Valley Reservoir.
Red Mountain is the youngest lookout on the San Bernardino National Forest and was constructed in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The mountain itself is so named for the distinctive red granite that is found on its peak.
Though low in elevation and relatively close to the surrounding populated areas, it is host to some of the best wildlife viewing of all the lookouts with an abundance of deer and other critters. Red Mountain is definitely a lookout for the more adventuresome! From Tripp Flats it's a 9-mile dirt road to the lookout.
Please check with the coordinator to ensure that the lookout is staffed before making your trip to visit Red Mountain.
The hike up to this lookout tower through the San Jacinto Wilderness offers some of the most beautiful vistas in Southern California, including the Salton Sea to the southeast. The origin of Tahquitz's name is derived from the Cahuilla god Tahquish, who believe the peak to be the god's home.![\"Picture](\"http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/fseprd973968.webp\")
At an elevation of 8,846 feet, this lookout is the highest within the San Bernardino National Forest, and the only one located within a designated Wilderness area. It is also the forest’s longest continuously operated station, serving some 77 years.
Up here, all work must be done with regular hand tools as no motorized equipment is allowed in wilderness areas.

This 10.2 mile wild and scenic river system finds its source on the heights of San Jacinto Peak in the Mount San Jacinto State Game Preserve and Wilderness Area. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail crosses its upper reaches. Above the confluence of Fuller Mill Creek and the North San Jacinto River is a picnic area and fishing access location. Hike upstream from here to see lovely waterfalls.
This area supports habitat for many at-risk species, including mountain yellow-legged frogs, California spotted owls, the rubber boa, and the San Bernardino flying squirrel.
While there is no camping on the river, there are four campgrounds nearby.

The easiest and most popular hike to the peak begins at the Mountain Station of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Leaving the Tram, descend into Long Valley and self-register for a Wilderness permit at the Mount San Jacinto State Park ranger station. Past the ranger station the trail traverses the tree-covered flanks of Long Valley Creek until reaching the broad grassy meadow of Round Valley. Deer are plentiful and relatively tame if you keep your distance.
Round Valley has numerous campsites for overnight hikers. Be sure to obtain a permit for camping before leaving the ranger station (reservations are recommended for spring and summer). You’ll quickly discover that the trail from Round Valley to Wellman Divide is the steepest part of the hike, but this section is only one mile long. From here follow the clearly signed trail to the peak. This approach is easier than the hike from Idyllwild, but is still strenuous with an 12 mile roundtrip and elevation gain of about 2,300 feet.

This six miles section of trail also passes through 100 year old temperate forest stands of western hemlock and giant sword ferns.
Historic area: In 1916, due to World War I, the Spruce railroad was initiated to harvest the giant spruce in the Sol Duc Valley. The properties of the wood from these giants made it suitable for airplanes, created for the war. At the turn of the century, much of the surrounding lands were early homesteads.
Along this trail segment, near Camp Creek, is the start of the great 1951 Forks Fire. The fire burned over 30,000 acres from this railroad grade into Forks in less than eight hours.
Amenities iclude: An accessible vault toilet, picnic tables, two stock trailer parking pads, a hitching post and a short stock trail on the north end of the trailhead to access the Olympic Discovery Trail.

Interrorem Cabin was built in 1907 as the first administrative site of the Olympic National Forest, which, at the time, included the area that is now Olympic National Park. Emery J. Finch, Ranger and Hoodsport pioneer, built the cabin for his new bride, Mabel, and they moved in on April 22, 1908. Between the years 1933 to 1942, the station hosted several government programs such as the ERA (Emergency Relief Administration), WPA (Works Progress Administration) and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). From 1942 to 1986, the cabin was a fireguard station, and from 1986 to 1994, it was used by Forest Service volunteers.
Accessible vault toilet for the cabin is located near the adjacent accessible trailhead. The cabin is not accessible to wheelchairs.

Louella Cabin offers visitors a unique turn-of-the-century retreat in a forested open meadow. With its white walls and inviting covered porch, sitting on a gentle slope flanked by towering Douglas-firs, Louella Cabin looks out over the fruit orchard and valley. The four-room cabin has a living room with a futon couch that unfolds into a bed, two bedrooms, one with double bed and one with twin bunk beds, and a kitchen with a table and chairs. The kitchen is also equipped with a cook stove, refrigerator, limited dishes, pots, silverware and cooking utensils. The cabin also has electricity, lights, and a propane heater. Propane is furnished. No drinking water available. Bring your own water for cooking, drinking and other household uses. There is an outdoor "port-a-potty" and it is serviced weekly. There is an accessible fire ring near the cabin for outdoor barbecuing and campfires, as well as a covered accessible picnic table.
The Louella Guard Station was built in 1912 by Forest Service employee E. M. Cheney, who dedicated the structure to his wife, Louella. A fireguard was stationed here during the summer and fall, and then the buildings were closed for the winter. During the Great Depression, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was built in the lower part of the meadow below the cabin and consisted of barracks, bathhouse, and mess hall.
The CCC worked on many projects including fire lookouts, trails, bridges, roads, and they planted trees after forest fires in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Walker is densely covered with 100 year-old Douglas-fir trees that have grown up in an area once burned by wildfire. Native Pacific rhododendrons grow along the road and at both North and South observation points. The large flowers are bright purplish-pink and bloom May to June. Mt. Walker is the only peak facing Puget Sound that has a road to its summit. Both viewpoints have short trails to the viewing area with interpretive signs. The south viewpoint has short compacted gravel accessible trail out to to the lookout area that also provides a nice bench.
Facilities: Two viewpoints (North and South) with parking areas and vault toilets. The vault toilets at the south viewpoint parking area are accessible. Two picnic tables at the North viewpoint. No water.
Mt. Jupiter can be seen through the notch just west of Buck Mountain. It is the closest high peak to Hood Canal. Mt. Constance is the third highest peak in the Olympics. Its gigantic rock faces are some of the most spectacular on the Peninsula. Big Quilcene Canyon is fed by hundreds of smaller streams. Mt. Baker is the fourth highest peak in Washington state with a glacial system second only to Mt. Rainier. On a very clear day, Mt. Baker can be seen to the northeast. Buckhorn Mountain consists of thee peaks just north of Marmot Pass. Quilcene Bay is a sheltered arm of the Hood Canal, providing boat haven, and oyster farms for the world-famous Quilcene oysters.
Hood Canal is a vast arm of Puget Sound. The trough was created as the Vashon Glacier gouged its way southward during the glacial period 10,000 years ago. Hood Canal Floating Bridge links the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas. Mount Rainier, at 14,410 feet, is the highest peak in the state. The mountain is an ice-clad volcano rising over 9,000 feet above the surrounding foothills. Its glacial system is the largest on any single peak in the contiguous United States. In the distance, major metropolitan areas can also be seen: Everett 33 miles away, Seattle, 28 miles away; and Tacoma 39 miles away. On a clear day you can see the Seattle Space Needle. Many visitors each year enjoy the panoramic views of Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound and Seattle from the summit of Mt. Walker.

This historic site has a visitor center and self-guided tour where you can learn about the Ninemile Remount Depot which provided experienced packers and their animals for fighting fires and for backcountry work projects since the 1930s.
Located on the Ninemile Ranger District compound, this historic site is educational, nostalgic and a visual delight, with its Cape Cod architecture, beautiful pasture and mountain landscapes.

The historic Remount Depot at Ninemile Ranger Station was established in 1930 when the Forest Service purchased the old Allen Ranch. The Remount Depot bred mules for 32 years to assist with fire suppression. In the heyday, there were over 1500 animals at the station with 35 animal packers. Today 200 head make their way from all across Montana, northern Idaho, and some from Wyoming to spend their winters here. We have a visitor center open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and a self-guided tour available any time of the year. It’s a great place to relax and look into some greener pastures.
The Ninemile Wildlands Training Center (NWTC) is also located at Ninemile, and offers yearly training in stock handling, dutch oven cooking, traditional tools, and far more.

This is the third largest wilderness complex in the lower 48 states. They are managed by three national forests - Flathead, Helena-Lewis and Clark, and Lolo, and five ranger districts - Spotted Bear, Hungry Horse, Lincoln, Rocky Mountain, and Seeley Lake.
Seeley Lake trailheads on the Lolo National Forest offer access to much of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex for hiking, backpacking, and horse packing. Motorized and mechanized uses are prohibited in wilderness. Visit the BMWC Page for regulations including food storage requirements, and to access information on trail conditions. The BMWC is grizzly bear country!
The Lolo National Forest manages a large portion of the Scapegoat Wilderness within the Complex. To read more about the Bob Marshall and Great Bear Wildernesses, visit the BMWC Page. Continue reading below to learn more about the Scapegoat Wilderness.
The United States Congress designated the Scapegoat Wilderness in 1972 and it now has a total of 239,936 acres. The entire wilderness is in Montana and is managed by the Rocky Mountain and Lincoln Ranger Districts (Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forests) and Seeley Lake Ranger District (Lolo National Forest). The Lolo National Forest manages nearly 76,000 acres, and the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest manages the other 184,000 acres.
The Scapegoat Wilderness was designated through a community effort and earned a place in history as the first citizen-initiated wilderness area in the nation. In the 1960s, community members joined together to advocate for the protection of the Lincoln Back Country, a 75,000-acre stretch of undeveloped Helena National Forest-administered lands. Eventually, the proposed designation was expanded to nearly 240,000 acres to capture the Scapegoat Mountain region. During legislative hearings regarding the designation, Tom Edwards, a member of the Lincoln Back Country Association, passionately shared: “Into this land of spiritual strength, I have been privileged to guide on horseback literally thousands of people … I have harvested a self-sustaining natural resource of the forest of vast importance. No one word will suffice to explain this resource but let us call it the ‘hush’ of the land. This hush is infinitely more valuable to me than money or my business.” Finally, on August 20, 1972, Congress passed Public Law 92-395 and Scapegoat joined the National Wilderness Preservation System.
The long northwest border of Scapegoat Wilderness is shared with Bob Marshall Wilderness and the massive limestone cliffs that dominate 9,204-foot Scapegoat Mountain are an extension of the "Bob's" Chinese Wall. Scapegoat's rugged ridge tops slope down onto alpine meadows, heavily forested hillsides, and timbered river bottoms. Fish are plentiful in the 14 lakes and 89 miles of streams. Elevations range from about 5,000 feet on the Blackfoot River to about 9,400 feet on Red Mountain. Wildlife includes wolverines, moose, deer, elk, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, black bears, and numerous grizzly bears.

The historic nursery was founded in 1907 as a Forest Service tree nursery. Nursery operations concluded in 1969 and now the site is used for cabin rentals and a visitor center.
The Savenac Visitor Center occupies what used to be the administration building of the tree nursery when it was active and now provides a welcome respite for travelers going east or west. With its Cape Cod style of the architecture, the center is not only fun to visit, but an aesthetic treat.
Once inside, you will see ceiling tile that is hand-carved with a different design in each room. Feel free to browse through the photo albums showing the surrounding landscape and site from its begining to present day and the people who each added to its history. Maps, brochures and other travel information are available for visitors.
An interesting interpretive display along with many artifacts bring the site's history to life. The site has the only life-sized bronze commemorative CCC statue in the state of Montana honoring the work of the CCCs throughout our nation.
A self-guided interpretive tour, which takes about one half hour to complete, takes the visitor through the compound highlighting the history of the site, nursery operations, and the fires of 1910. Picnic tables are available for those wishing to stop and enjoy lunch.
Self-guided trails let the visitor explore one of the largest historic tree nurseries in the U.S. Many of the techniques used in nurseries today were developed right here at Savenac.
Points of interest include: the Koch tree, one of the few trees that survived the 1910 fire; the Savenac aboretum which features numerous tree species along with a living memorial of spruce trees dedicated to the firefighters that lost their lives in the 1910 fires.
On the upper bench, a beautiful spruce plantation features many different families and color variations of spruce from several states. View our "Savenac Historic Tree Nursery" brochure for more information about the tree nursery.

The Double Arrow Lookout offers guests a chance to see the Seeley valley and the adjacent Swan Mountains from a different and unique vantage point, high above the hillside. The tower contains a few modern amenities, including electricity, but allows guests to personalize their visits with their own supplies. A variety of recreational opportunities exist in the surrounding mountains, but the view is usually what attracts people to the tower.
The lookout is a 14-by-14 structure atop a 20 foot tower. It was built in 1933 and staffed by Forest Service employees until the mid-80s, when it was opened to the public for recreation purposes. The tower is now listed on the National Historic Lookout Register.
General Information:
Double Arrow has an exterior stairway leading to a platform with a covered walkway all the way around the window-encased living quarters. The facility has electric lights, heat, a cook stove and a small refrigerator. An outdoor vault toilet is a short distance from the tower.
Two single beds and two portable cots are provided, able to sleep up to four people. Camping and sleeping are not allowed in the area around and below the lookout. Cell phone service is available in the area.
Guests must furnish everything they need in the way of bedding, cooking and eating equipment and cleaning supplies. Guests will also need to bring their own food, towels, soap, garbage bags and toilet paper, among other supplies deemed necessary. The cabin will need to be cleaned before leaving.
Accessibilty:
The lookout can be accessed by vehicle, however, the steep dirt and gravel road requires high-clearance vehicles. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety.
Directions:
In the town of Seeley Lake, turn west on Riverview Drive halfway between MM 13 & 14. Drive straight on the paved road for 0.6 mile, where you will cross over the Clearwater River. Continue on the same road another 0.6 mile where the road will split, stay straight (do not go right). The road will narrow, become more rocky and rough. Proceed almost 1 mile where you will make a right turn. After another 0.2 mile, make another right turn. Go another 0.2 mile and turn right again on Forest Road 696. Continue 1 mile where you will come to the lookout gate. Proceed through the gate (using the gate combination number) and in 0.1 mile you will be at the lookout.

Big Hole Lookout was built in 1930 for what was originally called the Cabinet National Forest. It is a ‘Grange Hall’-type lookout: a structure built atop a short talus foundation. This type of lookout predates the standard design seen in most other areas, and due to the difficulty in its construction, is quite rare. In fact, Big Hole Lookout is one of only two lookouts of its kind on the Lolo that remain intact! It saw its last use as a fire lookout in 1972, and although afterward abandoned, was determined eligible for placement on the National Register of Historic places (NRHP) in 1984. It has been rehabilitated through a series of Passport in Time volunteer projects which finished in 2017.

The Chiricahua Mountains are the largest of Arizona’s Sky Island mountain ranges and the second highest. The main crest of the mountain range resembles rolling hills atop a narrow high plateau rather than distinct mountain peaks. This relatively flat area is bounded on the east and west by steep slopes and sharply dissected canyons. Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmanii)reaches its southernmost limit in North America in this mountain range. The vegetation at upper elevations is dominated by ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, and white fir, with the ponderosa pine evenly distributed and the other two conifers confined mostly to north-facing slopes. Small dense stands of Engelmann spruce are found on several north-facing slopes.
Special Places:
Chiricahua National Monument: This National Monument features a wonderland of rock spires eroded from layers of ash deposited by the Turkey Creek Volcanic eruption 27 million years ago.
Chiricahua Wilderness: The Chiricahua Wilderness is home to a fascinating diversity of both plant and animal life, as well as some of the Southwest’s most spectacular geology. This 87,700-acre wilderness covers much of the upper slopes and inner canyons of the mountain range.
Southwestern Research Station: The Southwestern Research Station is a year-round field station owned and operated by the American Museum of Natural History. Since 1955, it has served biologists, geologists, and anthropologists interested in studying the diverse environments and biotas of the Chiricahua Mountains.

This campground is in a magnificent, rugged canyon that served the famous Chiricahua Apache leader, Cochise, as a refuge against his enemies. As you enter the East Stronghold Canyon, you pass in the shadow of rocks that quite likely served the Apache warrior as perches for his lookouts. The haunting shapes into which the forces of nature have carved those rocks helps make a visit to this charismatic place an unforgettable experience. Eleven individual and two group campsites at Cochise Stronghold are shaded by oaks and surrounded by a diverse community of vegetation that includes plants of both the Upper Sonoran and Chihuahuan Desert.
To help you become better acquainted with this unusual environment, the Stronghold Nature Trail follows a 0.4-mile barrier-free loop that wanders among the yucca, cactus, and rocks. This short, easy stroll provides a self-guided introduction to several desert plants, as well as some of the principles of desert ecology. It also provides good views of the rocks that form the ramparts of the Stronghold.
A wheelchair-accessible, 400-foot history trail in the campground tells of the area’s colorful past.
The Cochise Trail #279, which also starts in the campground, climbs past dozens of fantastic rock formations to Stronghold Divide at 5,900 feet and continues on to West Stronghold Canyon and the Council Rocks historic area.

Rugged terrain, diverse plant and animal communities, old west history and plenty of solitude are available for lovers of wilderness in the Galiuros. These rugged block fault mountains rise over 3,700 feet above the semi-desert savannas of the Sulphur Springs and San Pedro Valleys in southeastern Arizona. The 76,317-acre Galiuro Wilderness encompasses the mid to upper slopes of the mountains as they rise from golden grasslands, through dense thickets of evergreen oak, to stands of ponderosa pine. Douglas-fir and bigtooth maple inhabit cooler sheltered areas and a stand of aspen cloaks the northern slope of 7,671-foot Bassett Peak, the highest in the range. Two major canyons, Rattlesnake and Redfield, and twin ridges running northeast to southwest form the dominant geologic features of the area. A trail runs along each of these ridges providing access to a variety of connecting trails and spurs. The Galiuros are rich in both natural and cultural history. Wolves roamed these mountains until the mid-1950’s. And black bear and mountain lion are still plentiful today. At Power Cabin, deep within the mountain range, one of the most famous of old west shoot-outs took place in 1918.
The Huachuca Mountains are the third highest of the Sky Island mountain ranges in southeastern Arizona and they rise almost 4,500 feet above the desert floor. The mountain range is oriented in a northwestern direction giving it more north-facing slopes and perhaps a somewhat cooler climate than some of the other Sky Island mountain ranges with similar elevation. The highest elevations support mixed conifer forests on north-facing slopes and pine forests on south-facing slopes. Lower elevations have extensive oak and oak-pine woodlands. Management of this mountain range is divided mostly between the U.S Forest Service and Department of Defense (Fort Huachuca). Fort Huachuca occupies roughly the northeastern quarter of the range; the Forest Service manages the northwestern quarter and southern half. A small part of the southern end of the range is managed by the National Park Service as Coronado National Memorial.
Special Places:
East Side Canyons: Spring-fed streams, northeast orientation, and high canyon walls provide the canyons on the east side of the Huachuca Mountains with a moist cool environment unusual in the desert southwest. Water-loving trees like sycamores and maples grow along the streams often within a few feet of cacti, yucca, and agaves. The principal canyons accessible to visitors are Huachuca Canyon and Garden Canyon on Fort Huachuca; Ramsey Canyon, which is a private preserve managed by The Nature Conservancy; and Carr Canyon on the Coronado National Forest.
Miller Peak Wilderness: This wilderness of 20,190 acres occupies much of the high country at the southern end of the mountain range. It has an extensive trail system.
Coronado National Memorial: Francisco Vásquez de Coronado led the first major European expedition into the American Southwest in 1540 in search of the mythical Seven Cities of Cíbola. This park on the Mexican border was established to honor that quest. The park occupies the lower elevations at the southern end of the mountain range. It has excellent grasslands and evergreen oak woodlands.

The bears this trail is said to have been named for were grizzlies. They are now extinct in the southwest, but black bears can still be found in the area. People who come here say Bear Canyon retains more of a feeling of wildness than other canyons in the area. Perhaps that’s because of its name, or maybe it’s because this out-of-the-way place is a bit more remote and less visited than others in the Huachucas. Bear Canyon is an area of big trees, towering cliffs and abandoned mines. It is a steep canyon, and the normally dry streambed that runs through it is punctuated with precipitous plunges that become waterfalls during the spring snowmelt and after summer rains. The area surrounding Bear Canyon is the source of a number of legends; of lost gold mines, buried treasure and ghosts left over from battles with the Apaches. And there are other ghosts here as well. The remains of a wooly mammoth were discovered in this canyon fairly recently. Travelers on the Bear Canyon Trail may not find many mammoth remains, but they will run across evidence of old mining digs and miners’ cabins. In a number of places, the trail follows what’s left of the primitive roads these fortune-hunting pioneers carved into the mountainside. The Bear Canyon Trail climbs to an elevation of 8,060 feet at Bear Saddle, where it joins the Crest Trail #103. This major Wilderness trail provides access to the high ridges of the Huachucas and a number of connecting trails. From the saddle, the Bear Canyon Trail drops nearly 500 feet to Bear Spring where it joins the Ida Canyon Trail #110. If you use a second car for a shuttle, you may complete a loop trip incorporating the Bear Canyon Trail by returning down the mountain via the Ida Canyon Trail or Oversite Canyon Trail #112.

This drive starts and finishes with some great long-distance views. In between, it features a drive along an international border through a sea of grass so huge they filmed portions of the movie Oklahomahere. Heading south out of Sierra Vista, the Huachuca Mountains and their dramatic, exposed Reeftower above you to the west. You’ll cross that mountain range at the top of Montezuma Pass, in the Coronado National Memorial, where you’ll have a huge expanse of Mexico and Southern Arizona at your feet. From the pass, the drive drops into the immense grassland of the San Rafael Valley. Much of this grassland was part of an old Spanish land grant. A number of large and small ranches, both Mexican and American, still provide the main economic activity here. The sleepy little settlement of Lochiel, with its border crossing that has been closed since 1986, will scarcely notice your passage, even if you stop at the monument to Fray Marcos de Niza. That guide for the Spanish explorer Coronado is believed to have been the first European (in 1539) to set foot in what has since become Arizona. After that it’s on to the Patagonia Mountains and the gold mining boomtown-turned-ghost town of Washington Camp. At an unnamed pass just before you drop into Nogales and the end of the drive at the “Little Red School House” just to the north, there are more good views of the Atascosa, Baboquivari and Pajarito mountain ranges to the west.

Brown Canyon Trail leads into a scenic little canyon with good views and high desert vegetation. A spur trail, the Pomona Mine Trail, leads to the site of an old tungsten mine while the Brown Canyon Trail continues on into Ramsey Canyon. Brown Canyon is a relatively shallow, open canyon carved among rolling hills covered with grass, oak, and mazanita. Its upper reaches provide excellent views of the sheer cliffs of the Dragoon Mountains’ western face, as well as of the Chiricahuas in the distance to the east and the Whetstones and Galiuros to the north. Some people use this trail as an alternate route into beautiful, bird-filled Ramsey Canyon. Using this route means you don’t have to park at the Nature Conservancy’s Ramsey Canyon Preserve visitor center where, if you didn’t remember to get the required parking reservation in advance, you’ll be turned away. Brown Canyon Trail can also be combined with the Hamburg Trail #122 in Ramsey Canyon to make a fine day trip loop. No shuttle is required if you walk the 1.5 miles of road between the Brown Canyon Trailhead and the Ramsey Canyon Visitor Center. You will need a permit to cross Nature Conservancy property on the Hamburg Trail, and you’ll have to leave your horse at home. No horses are permitted in the Preserve. The best direction in which to travel this loop is up Ramsey Canyon and back down Brown Canyon. Another feature to visit along this trail is the old Pomona Mine high on Scheelite Ridge. A side trip of 1.4 miles will take you to the remains of that old tungsten mine and more fine vistas.

If you look up at the Huachuca Mountains from the town of Sierra Vista, a band of sheer cliffs bends and curves across the face of the mountain range. The relatively flat area above is called the Carr Reef. In this case, however, the word “reef” doesn’t refer to coral and oceans. It harks back to an earlier time when it also meant a thick layer of exposed rock. While you’re looking at the Reef, you may also notice a tree-covered break in that impressive barrier, just south of a deep canyon. Look even closer and you should see a barely visible set of switchbacks climbing that slope. That is the Carr Canyon Road, the only road into the upper reaches of the Huachuca Range. This narrow, winding road was built at the turn of the century to open up the Carr Reef to gold and silver mining. It was reconstructed in the late 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The mines have come and gone, but the road persists with little change. The people who travel it, however, have changed considerably. Where hardy prospectors once searched for their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, outdoor recreationists and history buffs now travel the Carr Canyon Road to enjoy splendid scenery and seek the flavor of the past. For them, the Carr Canyon Road provides the reward of extraordinary views of Sierra Vista, the San Pedro Valley, and a number of surrounding mountain ranges as it winds its way up the mountain. Since the road is so narrow, we recommend for safety that you use one of the pullouts along the road if you want to stop and enjoy the view. A forest recreation area stands in an area once occupied by the mining outpost of Reef. Here, you’ll find the Reef Townsite Loop Trail and two scenic forest campgrounds.

From its southern trailhead at the top of Montezuma Pass, to the northern Forest boundary at the edge of the Fort Huachuca Military Reservation, this skywalking pathway provides access to the highest ridges and some of the most outstanding features of the Huachuca Range. Since the Crest Trail forms the backbone of the trail network that crisscrosses these mountains, one would not be far off the mark in saying that all trails lead to it. This important connector also serves as the prime access to a number of spurs which lead to points of special interest such as the summits of Miller Peak (9,466'), Ramsey Peak (8,730'), and Pat Scott Peak (8,800'). Another spur leads to Bond Spring. Views are marvelous all along the Crest. On a clear day you can see all the major mountain ranges of southeastern Arizona, including the Chiricahuas, the Santa Catalinas and the Pinaleños–home of Mt. Graham. Portions of the trail also offer views of the broad grasslands of the San Rafael Valley to the west and the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico. Because the Crest Trail offers such a number of different access possibilities, Forest visitors frequently use part of it to complete loop trips incorporating two or more other trails. Loops that include portions of this trail are most easily made via the Carr Peak #107, Hamburg #122, and Comfort Springs #109 trails or the Oversite Canyon #112 and Ida Canyon #110 trails. If you’re willing to set up a shuttle, you can put together just about any combination you choose. This trail passes through a variety of habitats from desert grassland to mixed conifer; however, much of the area has been burned in wildfires, both human-caused and natural. As you might expect of a mountaintop trail, it also has its share of switchbacks and steep grades. Portions cling to rocky outcrops where the way had to be dynamited, and others wander across almost level areas.
The 11-mi. Crest Trail is part of the 20.5-mi. Huachuca Mountains Passage (AZ Trail Passage 1) of the Arizona National Scenic Trail. Visit www.aztrail.org for additional information.
Hunter Canyon Trail leads up and over a saddle into Miller Canyon. This trail offers good views of Miller Canyon, Miller Peak, the San Pedro Valley, and the Mule Mountains near Bisbee. Along this part of the trail, you’ll see evidence of the day when this area was humming with mining activity and literally crawling with miners. From the Hunter Canyon/Miller Canyon trail junction, you’ll have to follow Miller Canyon Trail #106 back to its trailhead or make a loop of approximately 6 miles with the Perimeter Trail #138B.

Begin this trail at the Ida and Oversite Trailhead.
Access to the Huachuca high country and striking views of the landscape west of the mountain range are a couple of the prime attractions of this trail. A pleasant stop-off along the way is provided by picturesque Bear Spring, one of the few permanent springs accessible from the Crest Trail #103. The Ida Canyon Trail was reconstructed by the Forest Service in 1984. In the process, it was re-routed to offer easier going than was provided by the old mining trail that previously led into the area. The new trail is considerably less steep than the old one, but about twice as long. The trail starts by following an old mining road a short distance up Ida Canyon. It then leaves the canyon to switchback its way up a steep slope through stands of scrub oak and juniper. At the old Ida Mine, among a number of mining leftovers, the front end of a car appears to have been used as part of a jury-rigged ore hoist. The new trail crosses its predecessor along this part of its route and then rejoins it just before entering Bear Canyon. In the canyon, the trail leads to a grove of big trees that surround Bear Spring and ends at a junction with the Bear Canyon Trail #125. If you wish to continue on a 6.7 mile loop, the Bear Canyon Trail climbs half a mile to Bear Saddle and another junction with the Crest Trail and Hamburg Trail #122. About three quarters of a mile south and east of this point, along the Crest Trail, you’ll find the Oversite Canyon Trail #112, which leads down the mountain to your starting point

A fine riparian area, plenty of evidence of the area’s mining past and good views from the Huachuca Crest are some of the rewards you’ll reap along this trail. After detouring around a piece of private property, the trail drops back into Miller Canyon to follow what was once an old mining road. The trail passes the remains of the townsite of Palmerlee and a number of abandoned mining digs as it slants steadily up the canyon. Down in the bed of Miller Creek, which usually has water in it year-round, you’ll be able to see lengths of the old carbon steel pipe which were placed here in the nineteenth century to carry water to the boomtown of Tombstone. Along lower stretches of the trail, large old sycamore trees shade the streambed, and sunlight filters down through the limbs of tall Douglas-firs. There are a number of bigtooth maples along the streambed in this area, too, making it a colorful place to visit in mid to late October when the leaves of these trees paint the canyon in hues of orange, red and yellow. After crossing the stream several times, the trail switchbacks its way up the north side of the canyon into an area that was burned by a large forest fire in 1977. Here, you’ll find good views down-canyon of the San Pedro Valley and the Mule Mountains around Bisbee while Miller Peak stands high above the canyon rim to the southwest. From this point, the trail continues to climb, visiting the stream a couple of more times and passing several more old mine sites before it intersects the Crest Trail #103 high in the Huachucas

This Wilderness encompasses 20,190 acres and was established in 1984. The Miller Peak Wilderness lies between the city of Sierra Vista and the Mexican border in the southern half of the Huachuca Mountains. The Miller Peak Wilderness is a land of sheer cliffs, soaring summits and deep canyons. In these diverse life-zones lives an amazing variety of wildlife including over 170 species of birds (14 species of hummingbirds). Seventy-eight species of mammals have been observed in the Huachuca’s including coatimundi, javelina, black bear and mountain lion. Over 60 species of reptiles also can be found here. Seventeenth-century Spanish Captain Juan Mateo Manje referred to these mountains in his expedition journal as Sierra de Huachuca, or Huachuca Mountains. The name was most likely taken from a nearby Piman village. Once cloaked in pine and fir, fires have converted much of this area to predominantly oak and grass vegetation with mixed conifer and aspen stands at higher elevations. Many sheer cliffs rise hundreds of feet above the canyon floors. At least 21 trails lead through the Wilderness from its eastern, western, and southern boundaries. The Arizona Trail traverses this wilderness before reaching its southern terminus at the U.S./Mexican border. From the Crest Trail (11.5 miles) one can reach the top of Miller Peak. Throughout the area, visitors may encounter evidence of the region's bygone mining and ranching days. Trails here climb from 5,200 feet to as high as 9,466 feet at the apex of Miller Peak, and offer some of the most dramatic views in the Southwest.
The Huachucas are rich in history. These canyons, cliffs, and forests are littered with the remains of various late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century mining booms that all eventually went bust. Today, the gold rush has been replaced by a recreation rush which is adding a new chapter to the history of the Miller Peak Wilderness.

Begin this trail at the Ida and Oversite Trailhead.
There are extensive mine diggings at the mouth of this canyon, which slices the western slopes of the Huachuca Mountains. The trail starts at the Wilderness boundary, just beyond those mines, and follows the canyon’s lower slopes along what remains of an old mining road. This is a beautiful little canyon that isn’t very heavily visited. Though the stream doesn’t flow year-round, the drainage still supports a healthy riparian habitat that offers good birdwatching and provides a pleasant setting for a backcountry outing. About a half mile up the canyon stand the remains of an old prospector’s cabin. This homestead, and the gardens and waterworks that surround it, were obviously constructed with care. Though all have fallen into disrepair, the area can still conjure up images of what it must have been like to live in such an idyllic place. Farther up-canyon, the trail enters the streambed and stays with it for some distance. This can present a problem when water is running. If the path seems to disappear, you may have missed the point where it leaves the canyon floor. Once you do find the switchbacks that climb out of the canyon, you’ll be in an area that was heavily mined in the early part of the century. Finding your way here can be a little difficult, too. The trail is overgrown and a couple of spur trails make it even more confusing. The good news is that the views are impressive from this point to Bear Saddle. Below, the grasslands of the San Rafael Valley extend across the border into Mexico, and above, the high ridges and peaks of the Huachucas wait as enticing points of call along the Crest Trail #103. From Bear Saddle you can continue your climb to visit some of those mountaintops, return the way you came, or complete a loop via the Ida Canyon Trail #110.

Campsites here are spread through a stand of medium-sized ponderosa pines at the end of a road that once brought miners and equipment to the historic Reef mine and townsite. This campground is tucked among pine trees at 7,400 feet and offers spectacular views of Ramsey Peak. It's a perfect destination to soak in the scenery and venture out on a hike from either of the trailheads at the campground.

This high mountain campground, once the mining town of Reef, offers 16 campsites, as well as a reservable group site. That remote outpost got its name from the nearby Carr Reef, a tall band of quartzite-bearing cliffs that form the Huachuca Mountains’ dramatic eastern front. Mining activity along the Reef began during the last few years of the nineteenth century and proceeded in fits and starts all the way into the 1950s.
The property occupied by the mines and the town was returned to public ownership in 1970, and in 1988, the Forest Service constructed a campground on the townsite. A number of picnic tables and tent pads were placed within the visible outlines of old cabin foundations.
Many relics of Reef’s mining history, including the remains of the town’s old water system and miscellaneous features, are still visible in and around the campground. Evidence of old mining digs and foundations for an ore mill provide points of interest along a three-quarter-mile interpretive trail which begins and ends at the northeastern end of the campground.
Garbage bins available. Black bears in area.

This canyon got its name from the fact that two brothers from Nova Scotia once owned a ranch here. Since the head of Scotia Canyon is one of the lowest places in the Huachuca Range, it has served as a traditional travelway for as long as humans, or other animals for that matter, have tried to get from one side of these mountains to the other. Scotia Canyon is also blessed with plentiful water (in ponds, not for drinking) which brought ranchers to the area and provided another reason for travelers to pass this way. Much of the trail follows the course of Scotia Creek, which provides excellent birdwatching in a healthy and diverse riparian area. Elegant trogons are regularly seen here, as are a number of other interesting species of songbirds. If you have a sharp eye and proceed quietly, there is plenty of other watchable wildlife in the area as well, including coatimundi, javelina, and Coues white-tailed deer. Recently, the Scotia Canyon Trail was designated a segment of the Arizona Trail, which will eventually lead from the Mexican border to the Utah state line. As part of the process of that designation the trail has been extended all the way to Parker Canyon Lake, adding more areas of interest to an already diverse trip. If you come here to travel one more segment of the Arizona Trail, or to enjoy the Scotia Canyon Trail was designated a segment of the Arizona National Scenic Trail, which crosses the state from the Mexican border to the Utah state line.

Located on a hill overlooking Parker Canyon Lake, campsites are spread among a stand of oaks and junipers. From the campground it is just a short walk to the lakeshore or a short drive to the boat launch ramp, fishing pier, paved parking areas and paved walkways, all of which are accessible to persons with disabilities.
Parker Canyon Lake and Lakeview Campground are generally less crowded than similar areas that are more easily accessible. On some days you can hike the entire 5-mile trail around the lake and have only the resident wildlife for company. This trail has several viewing areas complete with benches and interpretive signs. Two of the viewing areas are barrier-free. It is an excellent place to view the waterfowl that either live at the lake or use it as a stopover on their seasonal migration. Bald eagles and osprey are also frequently sighted here, as are Coues white-tailed deer and an occasional extended family of coatimundi, those long-tailed, long-nosed southwestern cousins of the raccoon.
Note: Black bears are common in the area.

Limestone formed from the remains of tiny sea creatures deposited in layers over a vast period of time. Eventually, geological forces deformed and cracked the limestone.

The cave is first mentioned in the accounts of pioneer ranchers and miners who came to the area in the 1870s and 1880s, although we know that Onyx was used by a succession of hunters, explorers and Indians because of various artifacts found in the small shelter cave adjacent to the main cave. The remains of a mill foundation can still be seen at the bottom of Onyx Hill. In the 1940s and 1950s, the cave became a favorite spot for adventurous people to explore. Increased use led to heavy vandalism. Broken formations and paint-scarred walls became the rule, not the exception. In 1963, the entrance was gated in an effort to preserve the remaining beauty of the cave. The gate was dynamited after a very short time, and no further efforts were made to save the cave until Escabrosa Grotto, Inc., leased Onyx and gated the entrance in 1974. Since that time, several large-scale cleanup and repair projects and numerous one day efforts have restored much of the cave’s former beauty.

This medium-sized 130 acre lake is located in the Canelo Hills west of the Huachuca Mountains.
It offers a number of recreational possibilities for those willing to drive the long, paved roads that lead to it. For those who like to fish, Parker Canyon Lake offers both cold and warm water species, including rainbow trout, longmouth bass, sunfish, and channel catfish. There is a fishing pier and a paved boat ramp at the lake, as well as a lakeside paved area and a graveled path along some of the best catfishing shoreline. There is also a concessionaire-operated country store at the lakeshore where you can pick up some last minute supplies, buy a fishing license, or rent a boat. Bird watchers and just plain nature lovers will also find much to enjoy at Parker Canyon Lake. A five mile trail leads around the shoreline never getting more than a few steps from the water. The Parker Lakeshore Trail offers excellent vantage points from which to enjoy the ducks and other waterfowl that are invariably bobbing on the lake’s clear waters. Some of those points even have benches and interpretive signs. Bald eagles and osprey are regularly sighted in this area, as are spring warblers and hummingbirds in season. Coues whitetail deer can frequently be seen browsing among the oaks and grasses that surround the lake and in the two campgrounds near its shores. Coatimundi, javelina, and roadrunners, three animals that are about as southwestern as you can get, make occasional appearances as well. Parking for vehicles, motor homes, boat trailers.
Accessible by passenger car. Fish available include trout, bass, catfish, and panfish. You can fish from a boat or a fishing pier. Boat ramp available.

This medium-sized lake fills nearly 50 acres of Peña Blanca Canyon in the foothills of the Atascosa and Pajarito Mountains. It is surrounded by grassy, oak-dotted hills, some of which are topped with bluffs of limestone.
Pena Blanca Lake is a popular recreation spot for visitors from neighboring Nogales, Arizona and nearby communities in Mexico. On weekends, and some weekdays, during the peak summer season, this area can be quite crowded. On holidays, especially Easter, it becomes extremely crowded.
Pena Blanca Lake was created in 1957 when the Arizona Game and Fish Department constructed a dam. This is a mountain lake located at 4,000 feet elevation. Anglers can find Largemouth Bass, Bluegill and Redear Sunfish, and Channel Catfish within the lake. With the newly renovated fishing docks in Fall 2023, anglers interested in Rainbow trout will enjoy the freshly stocked lake each fall and late winter. The 2023/2024 stocking schedule is available via this Google document.
The area offers a boat ramp, fishing piers, a lakeshore trail, and picnic areas.

The Pinaleño Mountains, capped by 10,720-ft. Mount Graham, are the tallest of southeastern Arizona’s sky island mountain ranges. State Route 366, also known as the Swift Trail Parkway, offers easy access into this beautiful mountain range. The route climbs more than 7,000 feet over 35 miles and offers incredible views of the surrounding landscape. The first 22 miles are paved; the last 13 miles are dirt and require a high-clearance vehicle.
The Pinaleños rise like a forested island out of a sea of desert. Ascending this mountain is the ecological equivalent of traveling from Mexico to Canada in just a few short hours. Varied biotic communities, layered in life zones, provide ideal habitat for a diverse array of plants and animals, including endemic species found nowhere else in the world. The uppermost life zone is home to relic species from the last ice age, including the southernmost stand of Englemann spruce in the United States.

This is actually a system of trails that were designed specifically with mountain biking in mind, but they provide some excellent hiking as well. They consist of a collection of old logging roads that have been closed to vehicles and new trails that have been constructed to create a network of loops. These loops lead through areas of cool, mixed conifer forests made up mostly of Douglas-fir, white fir, Engelmann spruce and aspen groves. The big trees are interspersed with small meadows. On each trail system, the old logging roads are easier traveling than the more narrow connecting trails. The Grant Hill Loop Trail is easiest travelled in a clockwise direction. On this route, great views of the Sulphur Springs Valley, Fort Grant and the Galiuro Mountains can be seen from the end of the first (eastern most) logging road. This is a beautiful loop trail during the fall season when the aspen leaves are turning a golden yellow. If you would like the challenge of a more difficult route, travel the outer loop counter clockwise. No matter which way you travel; the outer loop is 4.2 miles. The Cunningham Loop Trail can be travelled as an independent route or as an addition to the Grant Hill Loop Trail. The main trail is 5.6 miles long, but there are some side trails that may be worth exploring. The trail crosses a few small drainages as well as Grant Creek. If you’ve brought your mountain bike, you’ll find the ride moderate for the most part, with a few sections of trail that will wake you up if you need more than beautiful scenery to get your attention. If you’ve come here looking for a hike that doesn’t require you to walk back by the same route you walked in, you’ve come to the right place, too. And although this trail is designed for mountain bikes, use levels are usually low enough that you don’t have to worry about dodging bicyclists while you enjoy the view. To sum that all up, these loop trails are an excellent place to be, whether you’ve come to ride or stride.

If you look toward Mt. Graham from Safford, you’ll notice that there is a lone mountain that stands between that higher range and the town. Though it’s not as big as the Pinalenos, it may be even more rugged and precipitous than its taller neighbors. This is Deadman Peak. It is actually connected to Mount Graham by a high, sharp ridge that isn’t obvious from the town and the highway. Trail #70 offers access to this rugged offshoot of the Pinalenos by leading up the drainage of Deadman Creek. This small stream tumbles down the north side of the mountain through a precipitous canyon which is home to a couple of waterfalls that are quite picturesque during spring flows. The trail remains within the confines of Deadman Canyon for its entire length, dropping down to the canyon floor for the last quarter of its journey to the Round the Mountain Trail #302. Vegetation along the trail is characteristic of the Upper Sonoran Desert zone except where the trail follows the floor of Deadman Canyon. Here, riparian species find a home along the stream which holds water for most of the year.

The fabulous views just keep coming along all 22 miles of this ridgetop trail. It snakes its way among the highest peaks in the Galiuros and sidesteps the upper reaches of several of the range’s major canyons. From the trailhead in Deer Creek, the East Divide Trail wanders its way along shallow drainages and grassy flats to the upper reaches of Oak Creek. It then follows this drainage to the top of the easternmost of the two ridges which divide the Galiuros. Once atop the East Divide, the trail follows a ridge line route past Kennedy, Sunset and Bassett Peaks, offering good views of other prominent points in the mountain range including Kielberg, Grassy and Rhodes Peaks, as well as Biscuit, Maverick and Cake Mountains. A quarter-mile side trip takes you to an even more impressive panorama atop Kennedy Peak, where the views stretch toward all points of the compass. From the high ridge of the Galiuro’sEast Divide, the trail drops into the upper reaches of Douglas Canyon where stands of Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine and aspen provide the scenery. Paddys River, Sunset Canyon and Redfield Canyon add more drama to the topography, both to the east and the west, as the trail passes its junction with the High Creek Trail #290 and continues on to the point where Bassett Peak Trail #287B sets off for the 7,663 foot summit of Bassett Peak, highest in the Galiuros. Here, the East Divide Trail drops off the high ridge and switchbacks down into Ash Creek Canyon completing the last leg of its long and notable journey.

Because there are usually plenty of songbirds to watch along Frye Canyon Trail, and good views of both desert and mountain scenery to enjoy, it is one of the more popular trails on the Safford Ranger District. For much of its length the Frye Canyon Trail follows an old road bed along a gently sloping course through a pleasant riparian setting. Sycamores, cottonwoods, willows and other water-loving trees and shrubs hug the creek, while just beyond the area nourished by the stream’;s flow the bristling and brittle plants of the Sonoran desert hold sway. As you wander along you may occasionally lose the trail among the rocks; however, if you remember that the route basically follows the streambed and keep a watchful eye out for traces of a pathway, you can usually find it again rather easily. As the canyon steepens nearer the mountain, the trail crosses onto the ridge for the last few yards of climbing before it intersects the Round the Mountain Trail #302. A now abandoned ranger station named Inception was once located here and the area still retains that name on Forest recreation maps. The Ash Ridge Trail #327 also intersects the Frye Canyon Trail about two thirds of the way between the trailhead and the Round the Mountain junction. Both of these trails provide alternate access to Frye Canyon and possibilities for extended trips.

The name Noon Creek (Map) comes from the fact that when pioneer settlers traveled this way on excursions into the Pinaleño Mountains, this was usually as far as they were able to get via horse and wagon by lunch time of the first day. Noon Creek thus became a traditional lunch stop along the historic travel route into the Pinaleños and it remains a popular spot today. The surroundings here are typical of mountain oak woodlands with junipers and scrub oaks standing as the tallest trees, while satin barked manzanita, saw-leafed sotol, and soaptree yucca form a picturesque understory. As you enjoy your favorite picnic dish in this setting, keep an eye out for some of the local residents. You may catch a glimpse of a spiny lizard or a raspy-voiced cactus wren, a bird well adapted to life in this dry, bristling environment. Watch for roadrunners as they dart among the underbrush always on the lookout for a slithery meal.
Notes:
Noon Creek Campgound has public corrals.
The Noon Creek #302A trail starts at the campground at connects to Round the Mountain #302. The Ladybug #329 trail starts across the road near Angle Orchard.

Shannon Campground is small and tucked away along the upper reaches of Marijilda Creek, a pleasant little brook that winds through a setting of tall trees and green grass. Campsites are shaded under mature Engelmann spruce and Douglas-fir. Two three-sided wood shelters of the type originally developed in the Adirondack Mountains of New York add to the historic atmosphere of this campground.
The Arcadia Trail, which leads down the mountain to Arcadia Campground, has been designated a National Recreation Trail. A one-mile spur leads from this trail to the top of Heliograph Peak, a vantage point with a history as well as a view. This 10,022-foot vantage point once served as a location for signal mirrors used to communicate messages during the Apache Wars of the late 1880s. Today you’ll find a Forest Service lookout tower on the mountaintop as well as some of the most panoramic views in southeastern Arizona.

When early settlers ventured up Mount Graham, the Arcadia area was usually as far as they got on the first day. A little later in the history of the Pinalenos, Arcadia was the site of one of several Civilian Conservation Corps camps established in the 1930s to provide jobs for workers idled by the Great Depression. Today, Arcadia Campground, which has 19 campsites, is the first campground visitors encounter on their way up Mount Graham by way of the Swift Trail (AZ 366), which was built by those Depression-era workers. Arcadia Campground is shaded by stands of tall ponderosa pine interspersed with Gambel oaks and Arizona walnuts. Such a diverse habitat makes this an excellent area for bird watching. Watch for poison ivy.

Stockton Pass (map) was named after Old Man Stockton, a rancher who settled in this area in the 1870s. Stockton was the father of the Clanton Brothers, who were involved in the famous gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone.
Stockton Pass serves as a travel way over the Pinaleños into Sulphur Springs Valley. The Stockton Pass Campground is located right at the apex of the pass and offers good views of the south slopes of some of the mountain range’s highest peaks, as well as views of Sulphur Springs Valley and the Galiuro and Santa Catalina mountains to the west.
The campground is located on a beautiful scenic drive with panoramic views of the mountains.
The Shake Trail winds through this high desert landscape as it leaves directly from the campground and begins a climb that continues to the Swift Trail high in the Pinaleños.

Riggs Flat Lake is located at the end of Swift Trail, a road that winds along the top of the Pinaleño Mountains. It is a small picturesque lake, 11 acres in size, set in alpine forest and meadow.
Its cold waters are stocked during the summer with brown and rainbow trout. For information on fishing licenses and stocking schedules: Arizona Game and Fish.
If the big ones aren’t biting, there is always plenty of scenery to enjoy. In addition to the views of the lake and the surrounding forest, West Peak is visible from the vicinity of the lake. So are Aravaipa Valley and the Galiuro Mountains to the west if you don't mind taking a short hike to get to an overlook.

More than anything else, the 26,780-acre Santa Teresa Wilderness can be described as remote. Trails exist in many places only as routes kept open by cowboys driving their stock. These mountains are characterized by deep canyons, rocky outcrops and bald summits. Vegetation is predominantly thick chaparral with forests of ponderosa pine occupying high ridges. A stand of Douglas-fir grows on the sheltered north slope of Cottonwood Peak, the highest in the range. The granite cliffs, buttes and ridges of the Santa Teresas lend themselves to the weathering forces of nature in such a way that, in many places, they have been sculpted into strikingly picturesque formations. These natural works of art give the Santa Teresa Wilderness an unmistakable character. Because of this area’s remote nature, it serves as ideal habitat for wildlife species that prefer a high degree of isolation. Among those are black bear and mountain lion. Other desert species, such as mule deer, coatimundi and javelina, can be found here as well. When added to this area’s other notable attributes, the possibility of encountering some of these reclusive residents makes a trip to the Santa Teresa Wilderness well worth the effort.

This site is also known as Prison Camp.The site was a Federal Honor Camp beginning in 1937 to house federal prisoners supplying labor to build a road for access into the Santa Catalina Mountains. Prisoners had been convicted of federal crimes ranging from immigration law violations to tax evasion to bank robbery.
During World War II, many of the prisoners of this camp were conscientious objectors whose religions prohibited them from serving in the military. Some were Japanese Americans protesting the Japanese American Relocation, the largest forced removal and incarceration in U.S. History that started after the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. Over 100,000 Japanese Americans, many American Citizens, were imprisoned in internment camps for fear they would conduct espionage and sabotage along the west coast.
Gordon Hirabayashi was a senior at the University of Washington in 1942. He challenged the constitutionality of internment based on race or ancestry. He turned himself in to the FBI rather than report for relocation. He was convicted and sentenced to serve at the Federal Honor Camp in the Santa Catalina Mountains.
In 1987, Hirabayashi’s case was overturned. A federal commission determined that the internment had been motivated by racial prejudice and wartime hysteria. In 1988, the Civil Liberties Act was signed by President Ronald Reagan, which acknowledged the injustice and apologized for the internment.
In 1999, the Coronado National Forest renamed the site in honor of Dr. Hirabayashi and the other resisters of conscience who were imprisoned there. Dr. Hirabayashi and others attended the dedication ceremony.

Marshall Gulch Picnic Area is located in the forest south of Summerhaven, on the upper slopes of Mt. Lemmon. Large outcrops of granitic rock, almost white against the background of a pine needle-covered forest floor, are crisscrossed with dikes of even whiter pegmatite. Sabino Creek wanders through the picnic area as it begins its drop into the upper reaches of Sabino Canyon, one of the most beautiful canyons in the Southwest. With all that scenery conveniently close-by, a good way to add spice to your lunch is to hike along one of the trails that start at this picnic area. Both Marshall Gulch Trail and the Aspen Trail provide access from the picnic area to the Santa Catalina Natural Area, where they connect to a broader network of trails on the southwestern slopes and canyons of the mountain range. A large area in Pusch Ridge Wilderness is closed to dogs for the protection of desert bighorn sheep. Check with the Santa Catalina Ranger District for more information.

Bear Canyon is one of the deepest and longest rifts cut into the Santa Catalina range. Within its far-reaching canyon walls, all seven of the life zones that grace the mountain can be found. The Middle Bear Picnic Area is located in the canyon’s upper reaches where the gorge it has cut into the mountain’s slopes provides a route for a short stretch of the Catalina Highway. Sites here are shaded by ponderosa pines which grow in the protected confines of the canyon. Views from Bear Canyon include an area of the Santa Catalina Mountains where the slopes are covered with a jumble of boulders weathered into an unlikely collection of balanced rocks, pinnacles, arches and towers. This natural sculpture gallery is visible through the trees that shade the picnic area. While you’re enjoying your lunch you might want to take advantage of this opportunity to see how good you are at picking out identifiable images among the rock sculptures scattered across the side of the mountain.

While most other campgrounds in the Catalina District are closed in winter and open in summer, Molino Campground and Picnic Area has a season that is just the opposite. Because it is located lower on the slopes of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Molino is open during the late fall, winter, and early spring.
The weather here is pleasantly mild then, and any of those seasons is a good time to visit. Campsites are located in savannah -- desert grassland dotted with oaks. Along the banks of Molino Creek, which flows only during and immediately after rain or snowmelt, species such as cottonwood, Arizona live oak, and mesquite provide a scenic setting for the campsites they shelter. Views are dominated by nearby rugged, rocky hills. Roads in the campground are paved.

The chair lift is in operation all year round, taking visitors to a high overlook from which they can enjoy views of the Santa Catalinas, the city of Tucson, the San Pedro Valley, the Reef of Rocks, and the distant mountains near Globe and Phoenix. These scenic views, combined with the many trails and overlooks in the area, and the Iron Door Restaurant make this a popular place to visit in any season.

Rose Canyon Campground features 73 campsites, half of which may be reserved. There are 3 RV loops. Campsites are spacious, spread out among stands of big ponderosa pine and clumps of Gambel oak in a cool forest setting. Each campsite has a picnic table, grill, firepit and bear box. We do have wildlife in the campground. A hosts or employee will give each guest a campground map (trail maps upon request), rules, and safety information.
During rainy seasons, Rose Creek meanders through the area to Rose Canyon Lake at the lower end of the campground. This six-acre lake is sheltered by trees, and offers a pleasant setting for a walk, relaxing, or fishing for stocked trout. There are short hiking opportunities near the lake including a handicapped-accessible path from the lower parking area to a floating dock near the dam.
The Campground Store is located next to Lake parking lot and is open Thursday - Sunday, 10am-5pm, Memorial Day through Labor Day. After Labor Day through October, the Store is open Saturday and Sunday, 10-4pm. The store carries fishing supplies including poles and licenses, camping supplies, and a sundry of grocery items including ice cream and ice. If the store is closed, you can still purchase ice and firewood through the camp host.
When the campground itself is closed for the season, around November-March, the area is still open for woodland walks, wildlife watching, and fishing. Please remember, however, that in the off-season the gates will be closed and locked, so no garbage service is provided and no water is available. If you visit then, be sure to pack out everything you pack in.

Hopkins, the second most prominent peak in the Santa Ritas. The Agua Caliente Trail winds 5.2 miles along the north slopes through a cool forest of conifers, oaks, and aspens, providing good views of the Multiple Mirror Telescope on the mountain’s summit as well as the upper reaches of Madera Canyon and Mt. Wrightson’s rocky prominence across the canyon. Off in the distance, the Santa Cruz Valley and the Santa Catalina and Rincon Mountains stretch toward the horizon. There are three main ways to approach this scenic area, the most direct and most demanding of which is via the Very Steep/Vault Mine Trail out of Mt Wrightson Picnic Area at the end of Madera Canyon Road. This trail earned its descriptive name from the fact that it climbs 1,400 feet in a distance of a little over one half mile. This heart thumping climb leads from upper Madera Canyon to the vicinity of Agua Caliente Saddle, where that trail branches off toward Josephine Saddle and a number of other trails that crisscross the upper slopes of the Santa Ritas. Agua Caliente’s trailhead is located in a canyon of the same name on Mt. Hopkins’ western flank. From that point, accessible via the Mt. Hopkins Road, the trail proceeds up a remote desert canyon toward the mountain’s forested upper slopes. If you arrange a shuttle in advance, a trip that stretches between this trailhead and the VS/VM trailhead in Madera Canyon makes a good long day. A loop that doesn’t require a shuttle takes you up the VS/VM trail to Agua Caliente Saddle, then northeast to Josephine Saddle and back to the Roundup parking area via the lower end of either Old Baldy or Super Trail.

The drive from Sonoita to Montezuma Pass passes through an area of rolling hills and shallow canyons where distant mountain ranges mark the horizons. About midway through the drive, Parker Canyon Lake makes a good place to stop to walk and relax near the lake’s blue waters which is the end of Arizona Hwy 83. If you’re not in a hurry, you might want to take time out to do a little birdwatching, too. A trail that follows the shoreline provides good opportunities to see a variety of waterfowl that are usually present on the lake and occasionally a bald eagle or osprey soaring over it. Most of the countryside you’ll pass through on this drive is ranching country. The extensive grasslands that cover this area have been used for grazing livestock since Spanish missionaries first brought cattle into the area in the late 17th and early 18th century. As you wind in and out of the shallow canyons that cut this 5,000 foot high plateau, you’ll see a number of ranch houses just off the roadside or tucked away among the trees. After leaving the lake, the dirt road on FS Rd 48 and FS Rd 61 angles steadily toward the Huachuca Mountains, and the higher peaks of that range come into view. Miller, Carr, and Granite peaks are just a few you may be able to identify. The route winds to the top of Montezuma Pass, where you’ll be a lot closer to those mountaintops and be able to enjoy panoramic views that stretch well into Mexico.

Mount Wrightson Picnic Area is located at the end of Madera Canyon Road, as far into this area of beautiful scenery and plentiful wildlife as you can drive. Tables and fire grills are scattered in the shade of a stand of silverleaf and Arizona white oaks. Views stretch up Mount Wrightson to the top of the Santa Ritas and down Madera Canyon to the Santa Cruz Valley and the community of Green Valley. Four of the most popular trails in the Santa Ritas start right at the Mount Wrightson Picnic Area. Two designated National Recreation Trails, Old Baldy National Recreation Trail #372 and the Super Trail #134, both of which lead to the top of Mount Wrightson, begin their mountain climbing journey from the left of the two parking areas. So does the Very Steep/Vault Mine Trail, which lives up to its name by scaling the north slope of Mount Hopkins, another of the Santa Rita’s highest peaks. A lot less taxing but no less interesting is the Madera Nature Trail, which leads from the picnic area down Madera Canyon, providing great views and excellent wildlife watching along the way. There is more notable birding and a good place to relax in a shady streamside setting up-canyon from the picnic area, along the higher reaches of sycamore-lined Madera Creek.

The Whitehouse area is named for the nearby ruins of an old white adobe house built at the mouth of Madera Canyon in the 1880s. Tables and charcoal grills here are tucked under mesquite and oak trees a short distance from Madera Creek. In addition to the single table sites, facilities include a large ramada for group get-togethers . Wildlife watching is at the top of the menu at Whitehouse. The Madera Nature Trail, portions of which are paved and barrier free, lead from the picnic area into a nearby mesquite and oak woodland and sycamore-shaded riparian area. This trail actually stretches from Proctor Trailhead, a short distance down-canyon from Whitehouse Picnic Area, to Mount Wrightson Picnic Area at the end of the Madera Canyon Road. Since it was built a bit at a time, tread surface and interpretive features vary along its length. Coues white-tailed deer regularly browse within sight of it, barely taking notice of the presence of nature lovers focusing binoculars and clicking cameras just a few feet away. An overlook of Madera Creek provides opportunities to view more secretive species such as javelina and coatimundi as they stop for a drink. Along the two paved loops of the trail, which the Green Valley Hiking Club helped construct, there are interpretive signs in English and Spanish pointing out historic sites and other points of interest. Trailside wooden benches provide opportunities for more leisurely contemplation. Trails, trailhead information stations and interpretive signs along the Madera Nature Trail are maintained by the Friends of Madera Canyon, a hard working group of volunteers dedicated to keeping this area as clean and inviting as possible.

This trail appears on most maps as an insignificant, isolated squiggle leading 2.5 miles to the site of where an old fire lookout was prior to its burning down in the Murphey Complex Fire of 2011. As far as trails are concerned, it may be one of the best kept secrets in southeastern Arizona. Some who have come here describe the views from this soaring desert butte as enchanting. Others have said that Atascosa Peak rises high enough above the surrounding landscape to provide a panorama, but not so high that the landmarks making up that view fade into insignificance. That may be the secret of this spectacular little stroll into the sky above the buttes, bluffs, and canyons that lie just north of Arizona's border with Mexico. The trail itself climbs steadily, even steeply in places, but neither so long nor so relentlessly that it is exhausting. The view expands steadily as the trail switchbacks higher, first parading past nearby buttes and cliffs that thrust above grassy foothills, then providing magnificent panoramas that stretch to distant horizons. Trailside vegetation is stunted by the desert conditions and puts little between you and the sublime views. Castle Rock, Montana Peak, the spires and cliffs of Sycamore Canyon, the corduroy cañoncitos around Nogales catch your eye to the south. To the west, there is Baboquivari Peak, sacred to the Tohono O'Odham, and the white buildings of famous Kitt Peak Observatory. The Santa Ritas and Huachucas are just a few of the landmarks visible to the east. On a clear day, you can see the Piñacates of Mexico and, some say, even the glint of the Sea of Cortez. A final flurry of switchbacks takes you to the peak's summit. Take lunch and stay awhile.

You’ll find oak-shaded picnic tables a short distance from Peña Blanca Lake at Red Rock Picnic Area. This area is across the lake from the most popular facilities: the boat launch ramp, the lodge, and boat rental, so it is a bit away from the area of heaviest use. There are days, however, when even this out-of-the-way spot can be quite crowded. Picnic sites at Red Rock are located in a small, grassy, oak-dotted valley at the end of a graveled road. A short walk leads to the lake and the well-used trail that follows its shore line almost all the way around. If you like to fish, you’ll be interested to know that the lake holds bass, catfish, crappie and sunfish. During the cool months of the year it is stocked with trout. If you like to birdwatch, this is a good place to do that, too. It offers a number of species of hummingbirds and warblers (in season), in addition to a variety of waterfowl. If picturesque scenery is what you’re after, that’s provided by the bluffs and mountains that surround the lake. Tables at Red Rock are a short walk downhill from the parking area, so be sure you don’t pack in anything you don’t want to pack out. No garbage service is provided.

There are actually two Thumb Rock Picnic Areas, upper and lower. Both of them are located within a few steps of Peña Blanca Lake. Upper Thumb Rock is situated on a low hill overlooking this 49-acre body of water that provides year-round fishing for bass, catfish, bluegill and sunfish, and in cooler weather, for stocked trout. Lower Thumb Rock is located along a seasonal stream that flows into the lake at the base of the hill topped by Upper Thumb Rock. A set of stone steps leads down to the shore from Upper Thumb Rock, which is the more open of the two areas. Lower Thumb Rock is more sheltered than its hilltop neighbor and provides access to the lake via a short trail that is barrier-free. The public boat launching ramp is only a short distance away as well. Though these two lakeside picnic areas are open year-round, the 4,000 foot elevation of the area means the weather can be quite cool here during the winter and early spring. That may come as a surprise since the Mexican Border is only a few miles away. But cool weather makes the trout fishing better, and since the area is so much less crowded when it is cool, that may be the best time to visit.

Sabino Canyon, one of the premier natural areas in southern Arizona, is located at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains at 5700 N. Sabino Canyon Road, Tucson, AZ 85750.
Come to Sabino to see water in the desert. Between steep rock cliffs and unique desert vegetation you will find riparian corridors. You may even get lucky and view a Gila Monster, Bobcat, or other animals that are adapt to our 100 + degree summers and mild winters. The Sonoran desert has two rainy seasons: gentle winter rains and a dramatic summer monsoon. Due to winter's snow melt and summer's electrifying lightning storms, Sabino Creek flows almost year around.
Many local people call Sabino Canyon their second home. Visitors walk, jog, hike, wildlife viewing, photography and so much more. If you want to bicycle in, the Canyon times are limited to after 5pm.
The canyon itself has been closed to private vehicles since 1978. However you can still visit Sabino Canyon in an emission-free, open-air Sabino Canyon Crawler or Bear Canyon shuttle. Along the 1-hour round trip route for Sabino Canyon enjoy an audio tour or get off at one of the nine shuttle stops. The Bear Canyon route is 30-minutes round trip and has three stops. Times, pricing, and tickets are available online.
The Recreation Area itself has over 30 miles of trails. Come to the Visitor Center to talk with one of our amazing volunteers or employees. Visit our bookstore for maps, gifts, and souvenirs.
Pets are not allowed in Sabino Canyon. Service Animals as defined by The Americans with Disabilities Act are authorized.

The range is situated southeast of the Chiricahua Mountains and just north of the U.S.-Mexico border. It is located approximately one hour east of Douglas, AZ and one hour south of Lordsburg,NM.
The mountains rise abruptly from a sea of desert grassland, contributing to the Coronado’s “sky island” character. Elevations range from 4,570 feet to 6,647 feet. The range straddles the Arizona-NewMexico border, with 81 percent resting in New Mexico. The 19,056-acre Bunk Robinson Wilderness Study Area and the 12,163-acre Whitmire Canyon Wilderness Study Area flank the Geronimo Trail Road to the south and north, respectively. The 3,436-acre Guadalupe Canyon Zoological Area forms part of the Peloncillo Ecosystem Management Area’s southern boundary and is almost entirely contained within the Bunk Robinson Wilderness Study Area.
There are no developed recreational areas in the Peloncillo Mountains of the Coronado National Forest, but ample dispersed camping and primitive recreation opportunities make this mountain range a must for those looking for secluded, rugged adventure.
When camping in the Peloncillo Mountain, please follow Dispersed Camping Best Practices. No amenities are available.

The Sierra Vista Ranger District includes several mountain ranges which are separated by rolling hill county and some of the Southwest’s most extensive grasslands. The area includes the Huachuca, Patagonia and Whetstone mountains and the Canelo Hills. These areas were once the focus of extensive mining activity and their canyons and ridges are rich in the history of those colorful days. An extensive network of trails provides access to the Huachuca Mountains and to the 20,190 acre Miller Peak Wilderness. In Ramsey Canyon, where miners once sluiced, blasted and tunneled for gold and silver, birdwatchers have found a gentler bonanza. A number of scenic drives cross the area;s broad grasslands and anglers find their reward in Parker Canyon Lake, where stocked trout, as well as other species, challenge fishermen.

Hospital Flat is so named because in the 1880s it served as a site for a field hospital for ailing soldiers from Fort Grant. That frontier outpost is located along Grant Creek on the south slope of the Pinaleños. The restorative powers of this cool mountain meadow, carpeted with wildflowers and traversed by a small creek, were sufficiently notable that it also became a summer retreat for officers and their families trying to escape the heat of their desert outpost. Fort Grant was closed in 1905 and now serves as an Arizona State Prison Facility. Hospital Flat still serves as a popular refuge for forest recreationists who come to its pleasant surroundings for much the same reason as those soldiers.

When early settlers ventured up Mount Graham, the Arcadia area was usually as far as they got on the first day. A little later in the history of the Pinaleños, Arcadia was the site of one of several Civilian Conservation Corps camps established in the 1930s to provide jobs for workers idled by the Great Depression. Today, Arcadia Campground is the first campground visitors encounter on their way up Mount Graham by way of the Swift Trail (AZ 366), which was built by those Depression-era workers. Arcadia Campground is shaded by stands of tall ponderosa pine interspersed with Gambel oaks and Arizona walnuts. Such a diverse habitat makes this an excellent area for bird watching. You can access the lower trailhead of the Arcadia National Recreation Trail #328 at this campground.
Note: Black bear area. Store and dispose of all food in bear-proof containers and trash bins, or keep it locked in your vehicle with windows all the way up.

Nestled in the scenic Santa Rita Mountains near Sonoita, Kentucky Camp consists of five adobe buildings: the headquarters, two cabins, the assay office and the remains of a barn. A small cabin and headquarters building have been restored for public use in the “Rooms with a View” program. One of the charms of the site is the evening quiet and dark night sky. The two buildings are located within 100 yards of each other, so to preserve the privacy and tranquility of the visitor experience, guests renting the headquarters for day use automatically have use of the cabin the night before and the night of the day use. A caretaker is usually available on site to greet the public and answer questions. However, this is a volunteer position and the caretaker may not be there at all times.

This 4.2-mile-long loop trail starts in Kartchner Caverns State Park and then quickly enters the east flank of the Whetstone Mountains in the Coronado National Forest. State Park fees apply for those wishing to hike this trail.
Going counterclockwise will allow for a more gradual ascent of 902 feet in 2.3 miles reaching a total elevation of 5,683 feet. Visitors will hike through a stream-filled canyon and under the shade of manzanita and juniper trees. On the descent, switchbacks will offer sweeping views across the San Pedro Valley in Cochise County. Plant and animal life are abundant throughout the hike when done in the autumn, winter, and spring. Due to limited shade opportunities on the southern portion of the trail, this hike is best avoided during the summer months.

The Visitor Center, originally the USFS Columbine Ranger Station residence, was built around 1935. This residence, and other buildings at the Columbine Work Station, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a program that employed young men during the Great Depression with jobs improving and developing our public lands. Multiple CCC camps existed on Mount Graham. The Columbine Camp was one of two camps used during the summer months. Workers from this camp developed campgrounds and trails on the mountain and extended the Swift Trail to Riggs Flat Lake. The Visitor Center reflects a distinctive USFS architectural style of the Depression era with its gabled roof, multipaned windows, and lapped siding.
The shaded Columbine Group Picnic Area is located near the visitor center.

The Visitor Information Center (VIC) is the perfect place to start your Cave Creek Canyon adventure. The VIC, housed in an historic ranger residence, is managed by the Friends of Cave Creek Canyon. Knowledgeable hosts are available to answer questions. Indoor exhibits teach about the natural and cultural history of the area. Books, maps, souvenirs, and other items are available for purchase. Signs outside provide additional information when the VIC is closed. A native plant garden, bird feeders, and picnic tables grace the grounds.
The VIC building was constructed in 1924 after the congressional budget allocated $1,000 to build a ranger residence at Portal in the recently formed Coronado National Forest. Ranger Carl Scholefield scrutinized his house plan to trim expenses while maximizing space for his wife, Alice, and their five children. The house was constructed of reused materials from nearby buildings. Seven rangers lived in the residence between 1925 and 1953. It started being used as the Cave Creek Visitor Information Center in the early 1990s. This building, along with the adjacent Portal Bunkhouse (originally an office), and the pumphouse across the road, are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Elephant Head is a seldom used rock climbing area on the western edge of the Santa Rita Mountains just about an hour south of Tucson. This prominent rock formation reaches heights above 1000 feet and offers adventurous climbing to those who seek a challenge.
There are several climbing routes ascending the north, west, and south sides of Elephant Head, but routefinding may be difficult due to the minimal use of the area. More information can be found at Mountain Project: Elephant Head to help inform your climbing adventure.
Nearby Madera Canyon provides opportunities for camping at Proctor Road Dispersed Camping Area or Bog Springs Campground. Please refer to the Nogales and Sierra Vista Motor Vehicle Use Map (back) for additional dispersed camping opportunities in the vicinity. Always follow Dispersed Camping Best Practices.
There are no amenities at Elephant Head. Bring plenty of water and practice Leave No Trace principles.

New trails and amenities at this popular recreation destination invite visitors to experience the stunning desert, beautiful rock formations, and seasonal creek and waterfalls of Tanque Verde Canyon.
Redington Road is located on the far eastside of the Tucson metropolitan area. The road up to the trailhead parking areas is dirt and be bumpy, but is suitable for most passenger vehicles up to Tanque Verde Falls. The lower, middle and upper Tanque Verde Trailheads all provide improved parking on the north side of Redington Road.
The Middle Tanque Verde Recreation Site provides a staging area with parking for trailers. From here, Redington Road winds for 24 miles through desert and grassland until it connects with Cascabel Road in the San Pedro Valley. Numerous Forest Roads branch off from Redington, offering endless OHV riding options. Additional trailer parking can be found along Redington Road at the Three Feathers Staging Area just beyond mile 7 and at the Alambre Staging Area at mile 10. Always stay on designated motor vehicle routes. Refer to the Santa Catalina Motor Vehicle Use Map.
Tanque Verde Creek cuts through the saguaro-studded slopes and banded gneiss and granite of Redington Pass, creating a series of seasonal pools and waterfalls. View the 80-foot-tall Tanque Verde Falls from the Rim Trail Overlook. Additional pools and smaller waterfalls can be viewed from the Lower and Upper Tanque Verde Trails and the Central Canyon Access Trail. There is no trail along the creekbed.

This trailhead provided improved access to the Arizona National Scenic Trail at the foothills of the Santa Rita Mountains, ancestral lands of the Tohono O'odham and Chiricahua Apache.
This once-popular parking area had been closed for nearly 20 years due to natural and cultural resource impacts from off-highway vehicles. The ATA has been diligently to restore public access, and we were delighted to have been granted permission to construct a trailhead at this scenic location. In addition to earthwork and steel fence construction, the trailhead also includes two steel gates and an interpretive kiosk that celebrates the Santa Rita Mountains as a cultural landscape that was developed in collaboration with the Tohono O’odham Nation.
Oak Tree Canyon is located just west of Hwy 83 between mile posts 44 and 43, north of Gardner Canyon Road. The trailhead provides ideal access to the oak woodlands of the Santa Rita Mountains — just follow FR 4037 for one mile to the AZT. The trailhead is large enough to accommodate up to 40 passenger cars plus 8 trucks and horse trailers.

At Duck Lake, you'll find several dispersed camping sites.
The Hum Lake Trail #082 departs from the Twenty Mile Trail #085 on the way to Duck Lake, about one mile from the trailhead. Reaching Hum Lake requires a steep climb to approximately 7,800' and a descent of 1,000' down to the lake shore. This elevation gain (and loss) will be replicated on the return trip. Adventurous hikers will be rewarded with great views of both lakes typically only enjoyed by mountain goats and a handful of hardy hikers.
The Twenty Mile Trail #085 is open to two-wheel motorized use while the Hum Lake Trail #082 is designated non-motorized.
The trailhead includes a vault toilet, hitching rails, and stock unloading ramp.

Chamberlain Creek meanders through the basin among Lodgepole pines and meadow grass. Wildfire has visited the area frequently as nature has intended and the majority of the area is in a state of regeneration.
Prior to European settlement, the Mountain Shoshone (Sheepeater Band) frequented the lush meadows and streams of the basin to hunt large elk herds and other game. When gold has discovered in the 1890s, settlement in the area began to increase. Trapper John Chamberlain is the namesake of the area.
The Chamberlain Basin Guard Station is staffed during from late June through mid-October and host trail maintain crews that work to clear the trails.
Chamberlain Basin Camping Area provides an overnight stay for air travelers and those that have made the trek on foot or horseback.
Cold Meadows lays on the eastern portion of Chamberlain Basin and also has an airstrip for aerial access. Hiking into Cold Meadows from the east begins on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River or from the north from the Nain Salmon River. From the west, access is via Chamberlain Basin or the Big Creek Trail.

There are a number of trail experiences on the TRMU. Trailblazers can choose any where between a scenic, quarter-mile hike to Backbone Creek (particularly colorful in autumn) to a 19-mile+ backcountry mountain excursion that continues through an extensive forest trail system. Big and Little Boulder Lake Trail is an easy and rewarding two mile hike leading to sights of impressive granite walls, deep blue waters, conifer forests and showy wildflowers. Hobo Gulch to Grizzly Lake Trail is for the experienced hiker; trail affords views of a large alpine lake and a 70-foot waterfall. A popular choice is Stuart Fork Trail that starts from Bridge Camp Campground. The trail has very little elevation variation, good fishing opportunities and the option of continuing 15 miles to Sapphire Lake.
Mountain biking is a popular pastime on the TRMU. Several trails afford experiences for the novice and experienced biker. Some trails are moderately strenuous requiring the rider and bike to be in fairly good shape. The scenic vistas are worth the effort: Trinity Alps, Trinity Divide and Trinity Lake. A great mountain bike ride for people of all experience levels is along the Minersville Trail that parallels the shoreline of Trinity Lake.
Anglers will find cold, clear running streams on the unit providing excellent catches of steelhead, silver salmon and Chinook salmon in the Trinity River and native rainbow trout in tributary creeks and streams.

Description: The Boat Ramp Facility at the McCloud Reservoir offers public access to the lake that is managed by PG&E. Facilities include parking for vehicles with trailers, two picnic tables, garbage pick-up, and a vault toilet. Day use only. Features: The McCloud Reservoir/McCloud Dam is the division between the Upper McCloud River and the Lower McCloud River. Mud Creek, which originates from the Konwakiton Glacier on Mt. Shasta, flows into the upper section of the river and then into the lake. It is known for its silt/sand and ash-laden waters. This silt remains suspended in the calmer lake water, refracting the color of the sky and giving the lake a vivid turquoise hue, similar to other glacier-fed lakes. Traditionally known to locals as the McCloud Reservoir, or the Res, it is a popular fishery. Scenic views include forests, brilliant blue-green waters, Mt. Shasta, Bald Eagles, Osprey, Bear, Deer, and and otters. Water skiing or jet skiing on the lake should be conducted with courtesy to other recreationists and in the southern or downstream part of the reservoir after the big island. Speed in all coves should be no more than 5 mph. DO NOT park in the red striped area near the ramp, it is for boat launching only. Large parking slots are intended for vehicles with boat trailers only, not passenger or trailerless vehicles.
It is against the rules to either fish from, use as a base to swim or jump from, nor suntan or picnic on the boat dock at any time. It is for the loading and unloading of boat passengers and equipment only. Do not clog up the area when others are trying to load or unload.

Lakin Dam has benefited people and wildlife.
According to local residents, Lakin Dam was built in 1925 by the McCloud River Lumber Company. The dam was built to supply a reliable water source for the people of McCloud, and to provide water for the mill’s boilers, which ran the mill.
In addition to providing water for the town of McCloud, Lakin Dam creates the slow moving waters where the native Redband Trout live.
The original dam’s pipes were made of redwood wrapped with wire. The redwood was replaced in the 1960’s with a steel pipe.
The dam was named after Bert Lakin who was general manager of the McCloud River Lumber Company. Mr. Lakin was well respected in the American lumber industry.
On October 1, 1936 he lost his life in a forest fire on the west edge of McCloud.

The group camping area is primitive and provides spectacular scenery, as well as fishing, hiking, photography and wildlife viewing.
The campground has plenty of wide-open spaces and group picnic areas, making it ideal for large parties and family functions.
Natural Features: The campground sits in a stand of rustling aspen trees that shimmer golden in fall. Situated at an elevation of 8,100 feet, Aspen offers views of massive peaks to the west and surrounding steep canyons.
The group site is adjacent to the clear, cold and cascading Rock Creek, which originates in the John Muir Wilderness and runs for 22 miles through the bottom of Rock Creek Canyon.
The area is home to abundant wildlife, including black bear, mountain lions, mule deer, pine martin, marmot and many species of fish and birds.
Recreation: Rock Creek and other waterways in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains are known for their exceptional trout fishing. A catch from the creek may include brook, brown, rainbow and stocked Alpers trout, while anglers may be treated to golden trout in the backcountry.
Hikers can explore the area’s majestic scenery on trails that meander around high-elevation alpine lakes. Several non-wilderness trails that range from easy to challenging, are a draw for mountain bikers in and around Rock Creek Canyon.
Facilities: The group camping area can be reserved for up to 25 guests. It provides flush toilets and drinking water, as well as ample space for RVs and tents.

Earthquakes can cause sudden geyser eruptions and overnight appearances of new hot springs at Hot Creek. Water temperatures can change rapidly, and so entering the water is prohibited.

", "RESERVATION_INFO": null, "RESTRICTIONS": "A more appropriate name for the nearly straight fracture would be "Earthquake Fissure." Because the rocks on both sides have not moved much vertically of laterally relative to one another, it is not really a "fault." The fissure is up to 10 feet wide and 60 feet deep. The Earthquake Fault cuts through volcanic rock, part of a glassy rhyolite lava flow from Mammoth Mountain, and formed by tectonic stresses in the earth's crust. The fault lines up with the Inyo-Mono Craters and is believed to be part of the east-west stretching that is gradually widening the entire Basin and Range region.
The age of the fissure is unknown, but some the trees growing in the fissure are around 160 years old, indicating that the crack is at least that old. The sides are jagged, un-eroded, and lack pumice fill, suggesting it is still very young in geologic time. The fissure runs north and south, and lines up with the dike that fed the Inyo Domes. Someday the magma might rise to the surface, but it is also possible that the fissure could just slowly fill up with debris. These are the unknowns of geology, and what makes studying this area so exciting.
The snow from the winter months would sometimes last up to year round in the bottom of the fissure. Because of this the local Native Indians would store their food at the bottom of the fissure during the warmer months.
A short walking trail surrounds this natural phenomenon. Majestic red fir and Jeffrey pine trees make this a nice spot for a picnic.

Meadow Lake Campground is located on the Leadore Ranger District of the Salmon-Challis National Forest. This high alpine campground sits at an elevation of 9,160 feet in the Lemhi Mountain Range, 22 miles from Leadore, Idaho.
Natural Features: Meadow Lake Campground is located at the base of the 10,720-foot Meadow Lake Peak and along the banks of the 13.3-acre Meadow Lake. The high elevation campground is dotted with lodge pole pine and white bark pine trees and is frequented by deer and mountain goats.
Recreation: There's no lack of recreational opportunities around Meadow Lake Campground. The lake is stocked twice a year so the fish are always biting. Fish from the bank or carry your boat down to the lake and try from the water.
Hiking opportunities are available right out of the campground and include trail # 342 which provides a gentle loop around the backside of the campground. Try trail # 057 which takes you up to the steep ridge above the campground (the trail to Meadow Lake Peak is not maintained by the Forest Service).
If a slower pace is appealing, pull up a chair and soak-up the incredible views from the campground.
Facilities: Meadow Lake Campground consists of 17 campsites and a day use area with picnic tables, fire rings and barbecue pedestals. The campground offers two vault toilets, drinking water and day use parking. Four double campsites are available for larger groups with each site including two picnic tables, two tent pads, a campfire ring, a prep table, and expanded parking for two vehicles. The campground also offer 13 single campsites each with a picnic table, tent pad, campfire ring, prep table, and parking for one vehicle.
Nearby Attractions: There are plenty of other attractions in the vicinity of Meadow Lake including the Gilmore Ghost Town and a number of other Forest Service recreation sites and trails. Stop at the Leadore Ranger Station and pick up a visitor map for more information.

Hood at an elevation of 5,700 feet. It was built in 1934 and initially received seasonal use for back-country access and fire protection. The cabin is one of five structures in the area built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps and is part of the Cloud Cap/Tilly Jane Historic District. The facility is operated and maintained by a nonprofit, Friends of Tilly Jane Cabins, under a permit from the Forest Service.
Tilly Jane Guard Station is one of the oldest structures on Mt. Hood and provides shelter for warmth and an escape from the elements while participating in a variety of activities, specifically winter-related recreation. During the winter months it serves as a winter retreat for visitors hardy enough to access the cabin from the Tilly Jane Sno-Park. The Guard Station is set up for 8 people and is usually only accessible via skis or snowshoes; Cloud Cap Road is closed from late October until early July.
Guests can access the cabin following a 9-mile, gently sloping road, or via the historic Tilly Jane Ski Trail, which is roughly 2.7 miles with an elevation gain of 1,900 feet. Skis with skins or snowshoes are highly recommended and travelers should be prepared for extreme weather conditions. The Tilly Jane Ski Trail is poorly marked due to the 2008 Gnarl Ridge Fire, so it's important to stay alert and have a map. Guests should be experienced in backcountry travel and survival skills. Guests must also bring several of their own amenities. More information about reservations can be found on Recreation.gov. Join the Friends of Tilly Jane Facebook group for more information.
Barlow Ranger District is on the East side of Mount Hood.

These natural hot springs are located among towering firs adjacent to a secluded tributary of the Clackamas River, 40 miles southeast of Estacada.

The lower bathhouse contains three log tubs and one 6-ft. round tub in a community setting. The upper bathhouse contains one 6-ft. round tub on an open deck. Please empty your tub and fill it half full so that the water will cool for the next bather.
Winter Use:
The Bagby Day Use Area and Campground normally remains open as long as the site is accessible to hosts and managers. Once roads become impassible, the site is no longer maintained until spring (usually April).
The Forest strongly discourages visitors from attempting to drive in once the roads are snow covered. Even a few inches of snow can obscure icy roads and soft shoulders where vehicles can get stuck. Winter storms can trigger rockslides and falling trees. Local roads and trails are not maintained for winter travel and the area has no cell coverage for emergency calls.

The original lookout was built by the Forest Service in 1932, and was on a 100 foot tower. In 1962 it was replaced with the present lookout. The lookout is an "R-6 Flat Top" style cabin, a design introduced in 1953 as the last generation of fire lookouts in the region. The design, which includes a flat, tarred roof, originated in the Pacific Northwest and was designed to alleviate costs and hazards associated with re shingling the roofs typical of earlier style lookouts. Window shutters, a feature of earlier lookouts, were eliminated in this new design, and an extra foot of dimension added over previous lookouts (15x15 ft).

The corrals at Clackamas Lake Campground were constructed by Oregon Equestrian Trails (OET) volunteers in partnership with USDA Forest Service.
The 1,380 square foot two-story cabin features a fireplace insert in the living room, a large dining table, a fully equipped kitchen, sun porch, a bathroom with flush toilet, sink and shower, and 3 large bedrooms with new mattresses. The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed; the east upstairs bedroom, a full and twin bed. The west upstairs bedroom has a set of bunk beds and two twins. The refrigerator, range and hot water heater operate on propane. The lights and electrical outlets are powered by a generator. The cabin interior is knotty pine and the exterior is a semi-lunate half round (tongue and grove siding) to resemble logs in the Cascadian style. On-site volunteer caretakers help maintain the site and provide interpretive tours as well as staff the small Visitor Center/Historic Museum. Firewood and garbage service are provided as well as mattresses, dishes and dish towels. Sheets and blankets, sleeping bags, and bath towels must be supplied by the renter.
The generator that operates the lights and electricity at the cabin is old, finicky and high maintenance. Future plans include installing a timer, but for now, please run the generator only between 6-10 a.m. and between 5-10 p.m. The cabin is also equipped with four propane lanterns that can provide light outside of those hours or if the generator malfunctions during your stay. There is also a stove top percolator coffee pot and old fashioned toaster. There are no cabin rental refunds if the generator breaks down. The refrigerator, stove, and hot water will all still function and lanterns should provide you an old fashioned cabin experience!
The large historic Clackamas Ranger Cabin once housed the District Ranger and his Resource Assistant as well as seasonal workers who traveled their District on horseback. The Resource Assistant soon married and the "Honeymoon Cabin" was built nearby for the newlyweds. Sadly the Honeymoon Cabin burned down in 2003, but much of this historic Ranger Station is still intact making a stay at the Ranger’s cabin memorable and educational about Forest Service history of the era.
The Ranger's Cabin was built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and is located across the road from the old District Ranger’s office – now a two-room Visitor Center – on the Clackamas Lake Historic House compound. The cabin logs, knotty pine paneling, and large rock fireplace in this historic two story home highlights its "cabin in the woods" charm. Visit the small museum in the Visitor Center and take an interpretive tour of the compound to learn more about how the Forest Service looked before computers!

Hood and is a popular cabin used by winter recreationists. Peak season for use of the cabin is usually November through June; winter conditions often exist in the area for nine months of the year. It provides access to scenic terrain, specifically hiking, snowshoeing and backcountry skiing activities.
During the summer months (usually July through September) the A-Frame is easily accessed by taking a short quarter-mile walk through the Tilly Jane Campground. During the winter months (October through June) it serves as a winter retreat for persons hardy enough to make the effort to get to the cabin from the Tilly Jane Sno-Park. Visitors can ski to the cabin following a nine-mile gently sloping road or climb the historic Tilly Jane Ski Trail, which is roughly 2.7 miles and has an elevation gain of 1,900 feet. Skis or snowshoes are highly recommended! Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety. Backcountry travel experience is highly recommended; you will likely want to pack in many of the same things you would bring on any backcountry trip. Propane cannisters also recommended.

The campground is set in a scenic alpine basin among spruce, fir, and aspen trees, which provide partial shade for campers. The campground is adjacent to Ferron Reservoir and offers amazing scenery, including seasonal wildflowers and autumn leaves which put on quite a show in the surrounding area. Activities offered at this campground include wildlife watching, canoeing, boating (small craft only) and fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout. Numerous off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails also criss-cross the area, offering exciting rides for all riding skill levels.
This campground contains one group site with lake views that can accommodate up to 50 people and eight vehicles. The group site includes large picnic tables, serving and utility tables, a fire ring with benches, a potable water spigot, and outstanding views. Several single-family sites are also available, with picnic tables and fire rings. Vault toilets and potable water are provided, but there is no garbage service. Roads and parking spurs are gravel.
Nearby attractions include Rush Pond, Willow Lake, Skyline Drive, and the expansive Arapeen OHV Trail System which has more than 350 miles of designated, maintained OHV trails.
Indian Creek Guard Station is located next to Ferron Reservoir, just below the Wasatch Plateau. The cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and was used by generations of forest rangers serving in the back country. The guard station is situated facing Ferron Reservoir and the front porch offers partial lake views through the trees. Stands of Engelmann spruce, fir and aspen cover the area. Skyline Drive runs along the top of the Wasatch Plateau and wildlife and seasonal wildflowers are plentiful, with autumn leaves putting on quite a show. Due to the guard station's high elevation of 9,500 feet, guests should be prepared for all types of weather including snow or hail, especially after September.
The guard station complex can accommodate a maximum of 10 people, with six inside and four camped in tents outside of the facility. RVs are not allowed. The guard station contains single bunks with mattresses for four people. Guests must bring their own linens, bedding and pillows. The kitchen is equipped with a table and chairs, a sink, a stove, propane and solar lighting, stove and oven and hot water heater. Limited utensils and cookware are available, but guests are encouraged to bring their own supplies and matches. Drinking water and an indoor flush toilet and shower are available from July through mid-September. A vault toilet is available located 50 feet from the cabin during the winter months.
