    The Stock User’s Guide Sawtooth National Recreation Area “It was a land of vast silent spaces, of lonely rivers, and of plains where the wild game stared at passing horsemen. We felt the beat of hardy life in our veins, and ours was the glory of work and the joy of living.” Theodore Roosevelt Contents 1 Welcome, Weeds and Frontcountry Camping 2 Avoiding Bruises (and Bears) 3 Where should I go? 4 A few Sawtooth facts 5-6 Leave No Trace at a Glance 7-10 Sawtooth Wilderness Backcountry Stock Tie Areas 11-12 Sawtooth Wilderness Regulations 13-14 Boulder-White Clouds Backcountry Stock Tie Areas and Regulations 15 Checklist: What to Take Back Contact Us Cover Welcome! The mountain meadows, alpine lakes and jagged peaks of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) await your visit. The task of keeping this area beautiful and undamaged belongs to all of us. As a stock user, you must take extra pre- cautions to safeguard the land. The introduction of noxious weeds, overgrazing, tree girdling and other impacts can be easily avoided with a bit of skill and preparation. This user’s guide can help you prepare for your trip. For example, did you know you must get a free wilderness permit from a Forest Service office if you are taking stock overnight into the Sawtooth Wilderness? Are you aware that the eastern side of the Wilderness is closed to grazing? So if you go, bring certified weed seed free feed (no loose hay or straw). For more useful tips, please read on, and have a great journey.

Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe," when the act was passed were incor­ porated into the National Wilderness Preservation Sys­ tem. Areas classed as "primitive" were not included in the Wilderness System, but the act provides that each primitive area be studied for its suitability for incor­ poration into the Wilderness System. The mineral sur­ veys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. This bulletin reports the results of a mineral survey in the Sawtooth Primitive Area and vicinity, Idaho. The area discussed in the report includes the primitive area, as defined, and some bordering areas that may come under discussion when the area is considered for wilderness status.

The fishing was a mystery. Bishop Miller and I took the Venture and Varsity Scout groups on a 30 mile backpack trip to the Sawtooth Wilderness for High Adventure. There were eleven of us total. We started our trip at the Redfish Lake Lodge and ended at the Hell Roaring Lake trailhead. We had been planning this trip for the last six months. Half the boys were excited to go and the other half would have liked to have stayed home. Their attitude directly affected their preparation and enjoyment on the trip which directly affected the number of butterflies in my stomach knowing I was leading this group. Hopefully a few of the unprepared learned something from this experience. Now that it’s over, I think they were all glad they went. It will be a trip they will always remember. The group at 9,500’ Cramer Divide on day 2 Itinerary Tuesday – Ride shuttle boat across Redfish Lake to the inlet transfer camp (6,500’). Backpack 7 miles to Cramer Lakes (8,400’) Wednesday – Backpack 7.5 miles to Edna Lake (8,400’) over snow covered Cramer Divide (9,500’) Thursday – Backpack 5 miles to Imogene Lake (8,400’) over two passes (Sand Mountain Pass & Imogene Divide).

  • Peatlands of the Sawtooth Valley, Custer and Blaine Counties, Idaho
    PEATLANDS OF THE SAWTOOTH VALLEY, CUSTER AND BLAINE COUNTIES, IDAHO by Robert K. Moseley and Robert J. Bursik Conservation Data Center Fred W. Rabe University of Idaho and Linda D. Cazier Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute January 1994 Idaho Department of Fish and Game Natural Resource Policy Bureau 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Cost-share Project: Sawtooth National Forest The Nature Conservancy Idaho Department of Fish and Game SNF Purchase Order No. 40-0267-3-0233 ABSTRACT During August through and October, 1993, ecologists from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Conservation Data Center and the University of Idaho inventoried the flora and vegetation of peatlands in the Sawtooth Valley, as well as aquatic macroinvertebrates at selected sites. Our survey included lands administered largely by the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Sawtooth National Forest, and a small part of the Challis National Forest. This investigation was a cooperative Challenge Cost Share project between the Department and the Sawtooth National Forest. We focused on peatland substrates, which are wetlands with a peat or organic substrate, because they are the known sites of many rare plant species and rare wetland communities, much more so than wetlands with mineral substrates. We encountered four rare plants in 14 peatlands of the study area. All species are widespread in boreal regions of the continent, but are disjunct or at the southern edge of their range in Idaho, and are rare here. Our discovery of two populations of spoon-leaved sundew (Drosera intermedia) was surprising; this species was just discovered in Idaho in 1992, from one site in the Selkirk Mountains.

You sure got a lot to learn You think Plastic likes to burn See that tent, so nice and quiet? Turn up boom box start a riot Wash your dishes in a stream Do you hear the fishy scream? Don’t plan ahead don’t prepare Next day have no underwear Tell me Dude, how do you do? (All Pause) What you do with the other shoe! Welcome This binder contains everything you need to know for the Wildlands Education program. Read through it-- every last word-- and you will never have a moment where you wonder, “what should I be doing”. Have a beautiful, busy, productive, fun summer! Ranger Station Contacts The frontliners at the ranger station see many people visiting this area everyday. They have the chance of interacting with and affecting the way they recreate more than we are able to most of the time. They can help get the education message out if you ask for their help and provide them with materials to hand out to visitors. Make sure the Ranger Stations (both HQ and Stanley) are well stocked with Large Group and Stock User Guides, Can I have a campfire brochure, and any appropriate LNT literature. It is not enough that these materials are sitting in the RS, the frontliners all need to know what they are and when they need to give them out.
