  • Appendix C Roadless Area Re-Evaluation
    Appendix C Roadless Area Re-evaluation BOISE NATIONAL FOREST INVENTORIED ROADLESS AREAS Bald Mountain Roadless Area No. 0402019 6,236 Acres DESCRIPTION The Bald Mountain IRA, on the Emmett Ranger District, includes the south slopes of the South Fork Payette River from the Garden Valley Ranger Station to Danskin Creek. This roadless area is accessed from the Banks-Lowman Highway (Forest Highway 17) via State Highway 55. Elevations range from 3,100 feet along the South Fork Payette River to 5,148 feet at Bald Mountain. The area is underlain by Cretaceous granitics of the Idaho batholith. Sagebrush-bitterbrush/grass communities and scattered stands of ponderosa pine vegetate steep fluvial lands. Overall, the Bald Mountain area is marked with open slopes supporting sparse grass and brush vegetation interspersed with open stands of ponderosa pine. Major side drainages are deeply incised, with steep banks. Bald Mountain is the area’s predominant feature. CAPABILITY Natural Integrity and Appearance: The apparent naturalness and natural integrity of the Bald Mountain area have been affected by wildlife habitat improvements of bitterbrush plantings in some locations. In the northern portion there is evidence of constructed fire lines and some plantations following the 1987 Anderson Creek Fire. Opportunities for Solitude and Primitive Recreation: Opportunities for solitude, primitive recreation, and challenging experiences are somewhat limited by the relatively small size of the area. The steep and rugged terrain provides for challenging cross-country travel. The broken and complex terrain provides some opportunities for solitude. Special Features: A segment of the South Fork Payette River lies adjacent to the southern boundary.
