CENTRAL IDAHO ONE OF THE SUN’S FAVORITEFAVORITE HANGOUTS | OFFICIAL IDAHO STATE TRAVEL GUIDE TRAVEL | OFFICIAL STATE IDAHO 82 Sawtooth Mountains Hope you don’t mind heights, because you’re about to enter Idaho’s most mountainous region—a jaw-droppingly gorgeous landscape of peaks and passes just waiting to be explored. The jagged Sawtooth Mountains stand guard over the Stanley Basin, an area where end- less hiking, biking, and snowmobile trails wind past cold, clear streams and glacier-carved lakes. Mount Borah, the state’s highest peak at 12,662 feet, looks out over the sweeping plains near Mackay, beckoning hikers and climbers to ascend its slopes. From the small western town of Stanley, travel Highway 75 over Galena Pass to the romantic Sun Valley–Ketchum resort area for world-class skiing and hiking, mountain biking, and art-gallery browsing. Ernest Hemingway settled here in his later years and was particularly fond of the Silver Creek area, now a preserve known for fantastic fly-fishing and its rich habitat for birds, elk, and even moun- tain lions. The Salmon River, ranked by National Geographic as one of the world’s top whitewater adventures, begins in this region. This region is not new to adven- ture—this was the home of Sacajawea, the brave Lemhi-Shoshone woman who served as interpreter for the Lewis and Clark expedition as they made their way west to the Pacific Ocean.

    Proceedings, 2012 International Snow Science Workshop, Anchorage, Alaska

    Proceedings, 2012 International Snow Science Workshop, Anchorage, Alaska THE URBAN AVALANCHE INTERFACE AND COMMUNITY IMPACTS A CASE STUDY: KETCHUM, SUN VALLEY & THE WOOD RIVER VALLEY, IDAHO Janet K. Kellam Former Director Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center, Ketchum, ID ABSTRACT: The reality of dealing with urban development in avalanche terrain can look simple on paper but is challenging and complex in real life. Other factors come into play beyond what is described on avalanche zoning maps. It is not just the home we are trying to protect, but also the lives of those that occupy and service the structure. Increasing population density, more homes built in avalanche terrain and recent avalanche cycles have produced numerous avalanche incidents and management problems throughout the communities of the Wood River Valley. This case study highlights close calls, management efforts and identifies individuals and groups placed at risk during an avalanche event. Other communities may benefit from this knowledge and improve their existing problems or recognize future avalanche issues. Before approval of new development in avalanche terrain local planners need to fully identify all individuals that may be put at risk – these often extend beyond the building’s occupants and may include emergency services, maintenance personnel, neighbors and visitors. In addition, local planners must consider how many locations may be simultaneously affected by avalanche events during large storms. Communities need to have avalanche-educated leaders, decision makers and planners who with the support of avalanche professionals, can accurately identify and understand local avalanche problems. Proactive management strategies can then be developed and applied on a case-by-case basis in order to reduce the increased avalanche risk associated with new development.

    AVALANCHE ACCIDENT- Boardman Pass SUBMITTED BY

    AVALANCHE ACCIDENT- Boardman Pass SUBMITTED BY: Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center LOCATION: 15 Miles northwest of Fairfield, ID DATE: January 28, 2010 SUMMARY: 1 snowmobiler caught, buried and killed SYNOPSIS: On January 28, 2010, a group of five backcountry snowmobilers were riding near Boardman Pass in the Soldier Mountains of southern Idaho. This area is approximately 15 miles northwest of Fairfield, Idaho and is often accessed from the popular Chimney Creek trailhead. Two riders were climbing the west side of Pt. 9538 when a slide started above the uppermost rider. A third rider watched as moving snow overtook the first rider and the second rider turned to the climber’s left and out of the slide. The slide carried the victim over a thousand vertical feet downhill and buried him four to five feet deep next to his snowmachine; the debris continued several hundred vertical feet further downhill. The party quickly regrouped, located the burial site with a beacon and dug deep enough to provide an airway within an estimated 25 minutes. CPR was unsuccessful. The SS-AMu-D3-R2 avalanche was 2 to 3 feet deep, approximately 300ft wide and ran over 1300 vertical feet. Prior to the accident, the Soldier Mountains had received over 3” of Snow Water Equivalent and roughly three feet of snow since January 12. Moderate to strong southerly and westerly winds had accompanied the snowfall, with wind speeds peaking five days before the accident. The mid-January snowfall fell on an unusually weak layer that had been a concern the entire season. A widespread natural avalanche cycle had occurred in much of the advisory area the weekend prior to the accident, and a smaller avalanche had claimed the life of a skier a week earlier; the local and regional press had covered that accident extensively.

Lauvaux © 2019 Catherine T. Lauvaux Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2019 The dissertation of Catherine T. Lauvaux was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alan H. Taylor Professor of Geography Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Andrew M. Carleton Professor of Geography Erica A.H. Smithwick Professor of Geography Margot Wilkinson Kaye Associate Professor of Forest Ecology Cynthia Ann Brewer Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Naturally functioning forest ecosystems have been called gemstones of the Rocky Mountain landscape, and yet, since Euro-American settlement, these forests have been altered by land-use, fire suppression, extreme wildfires, and climate change. Understanding the changes is limited by lack of information about historical conditions. Knowledge of pre-settlement vegetation patterns and disturbance processes may also be useful in predicting and mitigating future ecological impacts. This study uses repeat aerial photography, fire-scar dendrochronology, tree population age structure, and grazing reports to determine fire history and land-use history and the characteristics, timing, and drivers of vegetation change in a forest-sagebrush-grassland mosaic in the Soldier Mountains, Idaho. Fire frequency before 1900 was greater in low-elevation Douglas-fir forests than high- elevation whitebark pine forests (mean interval of 31(±28.8) years vs 66 (±34.4) years).

    IDAHO ACTION PLAN (V3.0) for Implementing the Department of the Interior Secretarial Order 3362

    IDAHO ACTION PLAN (V3.0) For Implementing the Department of the Interior Secretarial Order 3362: “Improving Habitat Quality in Western Big-Game Winter Range and Migration Corridors” 10 September 2020 PREFACE Secretarial Order No. 3362 (SO3362) (09 February 2018; Appendix B) directs the Department of Interior (DOI) to assist western tribes, private landowners, state fish and wildlife agencies, and state transportation departments with conserving and managing priority big game winter ranges and migration corridors. Per SO3362, the DOI invited state wildlife agencies in 2018 to develop action plans identifying big game priority areas and corresponding management efforts across jurisdictional boundaries. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) and DOI jointly developed Idaho’s first version (V1.0) of the SO3362 Action Plan in 2018, which identified 5 Priority Areas for managing pronghorn, mule deer, and elk winter range and migration habitat (Appendix A and D). V2.0 was prepared in 2019 with support from the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). This V3.0 was also prepared in coordination with ITD in response to DOI’s 14 April 2020 letter to IDFG (Appendix E) requesting updated Priority Area information. Correspondingly, IDFG views this Action Plan as a living document to be reviewed and updated as needed, for example when new priorities emerge, revised information becomes available, and management efforts are completed. Each version of Idaho’s Action Plan applies best available information to identify current and future needs for managing big game winter range and migration habitat, highlight ongoing and new priority management needs, leverage collaborative resources, and narrow focus to 5 Priority Areas.

I’ve seen photos and heard several reports that the fishing is excellent for big Cutthroat. Unfortunately, the relentless wind made the wind chill unbearable and I was relegated to bundling up and bagging a couple of peaks instead. But trust me – I have no regrets! The scenery is spectacular and possibly my favorite in Idaho. The Boulder-White Cloud Mountains are part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The fight has continued for decades to designate the Boulder-White Clouds a Wilderness Area. I personally think it rivals the Sawtooths as my favorite backpacking destination in Idaho and I’ve set foot in most mountain ranges save a few in the panhandle.

Copper Basin is located between Sun Valley and Mackay. It separates the Pioneer and White Knob Mountain Ranges. It is a spot that many aren’t familiar with and offers great back country hiking, hunting and fishing. I saw Mountain Goat, Moose, Antelope, Deer, Elk bugling and my first Pine Marten. The area is a high Sage Brush flat surrounded by a mix of Pine and Aspen hills and Granite Peaks. I spent one night at Big Lake to the east of the basin and one night at Baptie Lake on the west side of the basin. I started out at noon and ended at noon on both trips which were both about 15 miles each. Lakes up Lake Creek drainage in the White Knob Mountains: Golden (Golden), Big (Cut, RB), Rough (Cut, RB), Long (RB), Round (Grayling). Lakes up Broad Canyon drainage in the Pioneer Mountains: Betty (Cut), Goat (Cut) & Baptie (Golden, Grayling) Copper Basin looking west toward the Pioneer Mountains I spent the first night at Big Lake which had some big hybrids. The trail to all five lakes is mechanized as well. I thought four-wheelers could only go part way up but you could drive to the lakes edge on four of them. That really surprised me after seeing the scenery.
  • Idaho – a Guide in Word and Picture Prepared by Federal Writers’ Projects

    Idaho – a Guide in Word and Picture Prepared by Federal Writers’ Projects

    The Federal Writers' Project was a part of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression of the 1930s. One of the Project’s assignments was to produce descriptions of tours across Idaho. The text below is excerpted and edited from the description of Tour No. 4, which went from Blackfoot to Arco to Challis. One error is marked with an asterisk; one debatable claim is marked with “° ”. The description of Arco is a striking example of the writers’ craft. _________________________________________________ Idaho – a Guide in Word and Picture Prepared by Federal Writers’ Projects The Caxton Printers, Caldwell, Idaho, 1937 Copyright 1937 by Franklin Girard, Secretary of State of Idaho ____ TOUR NO.4 Blackfoot to Arco to the junction with U S 93, two miles south of Challis. 144m. State 27. Lost River Highway. The Oregon Short Line Railroad parallels this route between Blackfoot and Mackay. Salmon River Stages use the highway between Blackfoot and Challis. Accommodations throughout are less than average in hotels and tourist camps, and travelers who plan to spend some time in the region are wise to equip and provision themselves for an outdoor life. State 27 proceeds out of Blackfoot (R) into the northwest, and soon leaves the fertile Snake River Valley to enter that enormous desolation of volcanic outpourings of which the Craters of the Moon are only a very small part. The contrast can be felt more deeply if it is remem- bered that State 39, which branches (L) at 5 m., turns south to SPRINGFIELD 20 m., in the vicinity of which is produced almost half of the Grimm alfalfa seed grown in the United States.
