Boulder-‐White Clouds National Monument Dear Regional September 26, 2013 RE: Boulder-White Clouds National Monument Dear Regional Forester Rasure and Forest Supervisor Nourse, Outdoor Alliance—a coalition of five national, member-based organizations including Access Fund, American Canoe Association, American Whitewater, International Mountain Bicycling Association, and Winter Wildlands Alliance—writes to express our support for a Boulder-White Clouds National Monument in Idaho. We represent the interests of the millions of Americans who hike, paddle, climb, mountain bike, ski and snowshoe on our nation’s public lands, waters and snowscapes. Inclusive of local Idaho clubs and chapters, collectively, we have members in all fifty states and a network of approximately 1,100 local clubs and advocacy groups across the nation, many of whom recreate and have a distinct interest in the permanent protection of this iconic landscape. As one of the largest unprotected tracts of Forest Service land in the Continental US, there is significant opportunity to preserve the landscape and the uniQue recreational experiences currently available in the Boulder-White Clouds region. While recreation is prized here and highlighted by the current Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), the area’s fate has been debated consistently in the four decades since Cecil Andrus rode a campaign against mining near Castle Peak into a governorship. In that time, the surrounding communities of Salmon, Stanley, Ketchum and Hailey have become reliant on outdoor recreation, a sector that supports 77,000 jobs, and brings $6.3 billion in consumer spending, and $461 million in state and local tax revenue to Idaho.1 A national monument designation will strengthen local economies through business growth, increased visitation, and longer stays. For instance, the counties bordering nearby Craters of the Moon saw a 20% gain in both jobs and per capita income since it became a national monument in 2000.2 Our collective membership places high value on adventurous backcountry recreation, and seeks to protect and enhance these opportunities through a variety of measures. One such measure is advocating for land designations that balance diverse recreational opportunities with high-level protections. Designating Boulder-White Clouds as a national monument could achieve this goal. Given the longtime political stalemate preventing congressional action for protection, a national monument designation is an appropriate path forward for the much-needed land and recreation resource protection for the Boulder-White Clouds region. 1 Outdoor Industry Association, Outdoor Recreation Economy, http://www.outdoorindustry.org/advocacy/recreation/economy.html 2 Headwaters Economics, http://headwaterseconomics.org/apps-public/national-monuments/2011- 03/pdf/craters.pdf To be successful, a national monument designation must continue to protect the diverse human-powered recreation opportunities that exist now, such as front and backcountry mountain biking and winter backcountry ski access, in order to ensure that these experiences and associated economic drivers are available into the future. Wilderness-like management prescriptions with limitations on some activities are certainly appropriate for parts of the Boulder-White Clouds, but where current low impact recreation opportunities are established, future management should retain them. We believe a new monument should thoughtfully balance all recreational uses through a proactive management approach that enables these uses to coexist while conserving and protecting the landscape. While the area hosts a diverse spectrum of recreational amenities, some opportunities stand out. In particular, Castle Peak—the single most iconic location in the Boulder-White Clouds landscape—is considered one of the 50 classic ski descents of North America.3 Galena Summit along Highway 75 offers rare high elevation winter access into the Boulder Mountains, and come spring, Trail Creek Summit offers excellent ski mountaineering access well into May along the Southern edge of the range. The combination of tall mountains, huge views, dependable snowfall and a long season make this area special for all who visit. In addition, the Castle Divide trail is amongst the most iconic and scenic trail rides in the country, providing a uniQue backcountry experience that mountain bikers place the highest value on. The Castle Divide trail offers adventure-riding opportunities in a high alpine environment that skirts Castle Peak. This is not an everyday type ride—for most, it is revered and reserved for that once-in-a-lifetime experience. For locals, riding the trail is an annual pilgrimage. The trail, however, is also self-limiting. Due to the challenge, logistics and remoteness, use will always remain minimal, which only adds to its allure. Backcountry trails are aspirational and inspire mountain cyclists of all types to get out and explore an extremely rewarding and challenging environment. Backcountry rides like Castle Divide are examples that IMBA highlights in their “Long Live Long Rides” campaign and designates as EPICS—a special honor for trails that are increasingly difficult to replicate.4 The backcountry experiences found in the Boulder-White Clouds evoke a deep appreciation of the American landscape; skiers, climbers, hikers and mountain bikers alike who visit come away wanting to protect this special place. The relationship between people and place is critically important to foster and is why protecting the Boulder-White Clouds is so important to so many people. Outdoor Alliance therefore supports efforts to designate the Boulder-White Clouds a national monument, and we ask the Obama Administration, US Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management to continue prioritizing recreation in the authorizing language and management plan that follows. Sustainable recreation is already well established in the SNRA and any future management should enhance these opportunities for future generations through thoughtful protections balanced with diverse recreation opportunities. Outdoor Alliance is encouraged by the prospect 3 A. Burrows, C. Davenport and P. Newhard. 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America. (Capitol Peak Publishing, 2010). 4 In addition to the national monument designation, Outdoor Alliance strongly supports maintaining current bike access to trails in the Boulder-White Clouds area and believes a wide range of opportunities, such as the riding currently enjoyed around Castle Peak and Antz Basin, should remain available to adventurous cyclists, as the setting and experience these trails offer are not found anywhere else in Idaho or the greater Northwest. of this outstanding landscape receiving fitting protection as a national monument, and we are committed to working on behalf of our members to see that the exceptional backcountry recreation opportunities continue to be prioritized there. We look forward to working with all the agencies to designate and determine the management of a Boulder-White Clouds National Monument.

  • Monitoring White Cloud Milkvetch (Astragalus Vexilliflexus Var. Nubilus) on the Sawtooth National Recreation Area: Baseline Results, 2005
    MONITORING WHITE CLOUD MILKVETCH (ASTRAGALUS VEXILLIFLEXUS VAR. NUBILUS) ON THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL RECREATION AREA: BASELINE RESULTS, 2005 Idaho Conservation Data Center Idaho Department of Fish and Game PO Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Michael Mancuso 2006 Sawtooth National Forest and Idaho Department of Fish and Game ABSTRACT White Cloud milkvetch (Astragalus vexilliflexus var. nubilus) is a U.S. Forest Service, Region 4 sensitive plant species known from ten occurrences, all located within the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. It is endemic to an approximately 21 km x 10 km area on the eastern slope of the White Cloud Peaks and western slope of the adjacent Boulder Mountains in Custer County, Idaho. In 2005, the Sawtooth National Forest contracted the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s Idaho Conservation Data Center to establish a monitoring program for this species. White Cloud milkvetch census, plant community, and ground disturbance information was collected along permanently marked transects at eight of the ten known occurrences. Photo point photographs and the collection of additional occurrence area disturbance and threat information were also part of the monitoring protocol. Baseline results showed occurrences had variable White Cloud milkvetch density and habitat characterized by low vegetation cover. The majority had minimal or no disturbance. The landscape surrounding all occurrences was dominated by native vegetation and unfragmented except for occasional secondary roads. Bowery Ridge is the occurrence requiring the most immediate management attention. Recent off-trail motorcycle and heavy cattle use were observed within and near the occurrence. Imminent, serious threats were not observed within the other occurrences visited. Periodic monitoring is recommended to ensure managers are kept appraised of population and habitat trends, the status of any threats, and to evaluate whether directed management actions such as grazing allotment boundary adjustments, are having the intended effect.

  • Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Addition Hemingway-Boulders, Jim Mcclure-Jerry Peak and White Clouds Wilderness Areas
    FOREST SERVICE AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Addition Hemingway-Boulders, Jim McClure-Jerry Peak and White Clouds Wilderness Areas Interim Maps and Guidelines 2016 “A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled (wild and free from human control or manipulation) by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. An area of wilderness is further defined to mean … an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions…” —The Wilderness Act, 1964 U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law Congressman Mike Simpson’s legislation creating three new Wilderness areas in Idaho. The legislation, The Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act (P.L. 114-46), was signed August 7, 2015, in a signing ceremony at the White House. The Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act designates three areas as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, including the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness (116,898 acres), White Clouds Wilderness (90,769 acres) and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness (67,998 acres). These protected areas preserve 275,665 acres of high mountain backcountry with crystal lakes and abundant wildlife. The U.S. Forest Service manages federal lands within the newly designated wilderness areas with the exception of more than 24,000 acres of the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness, and 450 acres of the White Clouds Wilderness which is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
