  • SUGGESTED DAY HIKES High Sierra Ranger District
    PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION Restoring, Enhancing and Sustaining Forests in California, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands Sierra National Forest SUGGESTED DAY HIKES High Sierra Ranger District HUNTINGTON LAKE AREA Drive up Highway 168 from Shaver Lake. These first four trails are on the right hand side: Coyote Lake: 16 miles RT* (from Hwy 168, and 10 miles RT from the beginning of the 4WD road). The jeep road to Coyote Lake is well traveled but an extremely rugged jeep road. The setting is alpine, glacial, partly timbered in shallow rolling forest. Red Lake: 13 miles RT (from Hwy 168, and 8 miles RT from beginning of the 4WD road). This is a small lake, open and sparsely timbered with a rocky and meadow type shoreline. You can drive by the way of the Red Mountain Off-Highway Vehicle Route. You can also reach West and Strawberry Lakes from this trail. Indian Pools: 2 miles RT. The trail starts from the China Peak Ski Resort, heading east along Big Creek. This is the only hike in the area that is considered easy since the trail is basically flat. Rancheria Falls: 2 miles RT. The trailhead is approximately 1.2 miles up the Rancheria Falls road. The trail is of a gentle grade and is 1 mile in length. Elevations range from 7,760 fee at the trailhead to 8,120 feet at the end of the trail near the base of the Falls. HUNTINGTON LAKE DAM AREA On the west end of the lake.

  • For First Responders
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Sahara Saude-Bigelow [email protected]| C: 559.567.5854 Local Group Raises Additional Funds to Make First Annual Hero Day ‘Free’ for First Responders Central Sierra Resiliency Fund’s “Hero Day” is a community event in partnership with China Peak and Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company to honor Creek Fire First Responders and support ongoing recovery and revitalization efforts. SHAVER LAKE, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 24, 2021... When a local group of avid skiers and cabin owners in the Shaver Lake area heard about the first-ever Central Sierra Resiliency Fund “Hero Day” at China Peak, they wanted to help further. As a result of independent fundraising, lift tickets for first responders will be even less than the unprecedented $25 special Hero Day rate – they will be free. To date the group, calling themselves “Friends of Hero Day”, have fundraised through individuals to make the first 175 first responders’ lift tickets of the day free. The group will continue outreach and fundraising with the hope to raise additional funds before the event Friday, March 26 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at China Peak. The founder of “Friends of Hero Day” Brian Nichols said, “Our homes and cabins are still here because of these men and women. When everyone else was leaving the area because of the fire, these people stayed and worked through it. We wanted to give something back to say thank you.” The first 175 first responders will receive free lift tickets on March 26 and thereafter, tickets, ski/board rentals and lessons for first responders and their immediate family at the $25 Hero Day rates.

  • Kennolyn Huntington Lake Camp Families
    Kennolyn Huntington Lake Camp Families, I am looking forward to getting to know you and your family! I have been working with Pam and Andrew on getting ready for the summer, and things are going great. The interior remodel of the cabins went well and finished just before the snow started to fall, our key staff are ready to come back, and camp is already filling up. Since you have been a loyal Kennolyn family, we realize that you already understand how we operate, but there are some particulars about Kennolyn Huntington Lake that make it different from the original Santa Cruz Mountains program. I hope this packet helps answer some of your questions. The most important thing in my mind is the smaller size. By limiting enrolment to 64 campers we are excited about creating close relationships and a tight knit community. Based on enrollment, we picked bus stops at Foothill College in the SF Bay Area and the Federal Building in the LA area. Families are asked to meet the buses at 9:45 on Monday Opening Day and will be dropped off Friday Closing Day at 3:30.Stops and times are tentative. Since camp is in a remote location, we will have nurses at those stops to perform the camper health screen. This ensures a healthy camp community and prevents someone from making the drive only to have to bring their camper home due to a fever. Another item that was not clear to many families during the enrollment process is the option to add trail riding and the pack trip.

  • US Geological Survey and US Bureau of Mines Under the Provisions Of
    DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP MF-1515 UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE KAISER WILDERNESS (NF041), SIERRA NATIONAL FOREST, FRESNO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA SUMMARY REPORT By E. A. du Bray and D. A. Dellinger U.S. Geological Survey and Andrew Leszcykowski, Clayton Morlock, and Spencee Willett U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Kaiser Wilderness (NF041), Sierra National Forest, Fresno County, California. The area was established as a wilderness by Public Law 94-557, 1976. SUMMARY The Kaiser Wilderness occupies 22,500 acres (9,100 ha) in Sierra National Forest, Fresno County, Calif, (fig. 1). Occurrences of tungsten and metamorphosed limestone and dolomite are found in the Kaiser Wilderness. Tungsten occurs in pods of tactile located in calcareous metasedimentary rocks at their contacts with granitic rocks of the Sierra Nevada batholith.

  • Rec 19 Information and Interpretive Opportunities and Needs Assessment
    REC 19 INFORMATION AND INTERPRETIVE OPPORTUNITIES AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study identifies existing information and interpretative opportunities near project facilities within the basin. This information was gathered through literature review, and consultation with the United States Forest Service (USDA-FS) and Southern California Edison (SCE). Information was also obtained from the results of the recreation use surveys that were conducted during the summer of 2002 at recreation facilities located in the study area. The recreation use survey questionnaire contained focused questions to acquire information about the information and interpretative services available within the study area. Results from the recreation use survey indicates that 1,912 survey respondents answered questions evaluating the adequacy of interpretive/educational displays and exhibits, and the adequacy of visit/trip/recreation information. Of the 1,912 survey respondents, 811 stated that they obtained information about study area recreation opportunities from their family or a friend, and 626 respondents stated that they knew of or found out about s area recreation opportunities because they live locally. Generally survey respondents rated the adequacy of interpretive/education displays and exhibits and the adequacy of visit/trip/recreation information at campgrounds, picnic areas, trailheads and stream corridors, between highly acceptable to neutral, with the exception of two locations. These two locations were the Northshore Day Use Areas at Shaver Lake, rated as moderately unacceptable, and at the Logan Meadow Trailhead, rated as highly unacceptable. However, the results at both locations are based on the response from only one survey respondent. All other locations received acceptable or neutral ratings.

  • 11/14/20 Burned-Area Report Part I
    USDA FOREST SERVICE FS-2500-8 (2/20) Date of Report: 11/14/20 BURNED-AREA REPORT PART I - TYPE OF REQUEST A. Type of Report ☒ 1. Funding request for estimated emergency stabilization funds ☐ 2. No Treatment Recommendation B. Type of Action ☐ 1. Initial Request (Best estimate of funds needed to complete eligible stabilization measures) ☒ 2. Interim Request #1 (revised – Part 1 analysis area) and # 2 (Part 2 analysis area). ☒ Updating the initial funding request based on more accurate site data or design analysis. See note below. Interim #2 analysis is indicated in RED FONT. The additional analysis area is referred to as “Part 2” throughout this document. Note: On October 5, 2020, the Sierra National Forest submitted a preliminary 2500-8 request to allow for immediate implementation of treatments to address the emergency conditions relative to Forest Service roads and hazardous materials. The (Interim #1) request is for the additional treatments that have been identified now that the assessment is completed. Due to the fire size and the lateness of the season, the Creek Fire BAER team started the assessment early when containment was relatively low in order to not delay implementation. As such, the fire continued to expand. The (Interim #1) assessment is based on the fire perimeter as of September 29th when the fire was 306,659 acres. Interim Request #2 covers the additional 44,490 acres between September 29th and October 18th (the date of a decent BARC image; subsequent images were obscured by smoke in the fire expansion areas). The Creek Fire has expanded an additional 28,353 acres since October 18th; as of 10/31/20 @ 10 am, the acreage is 380,002.
