Favorite Favorite CENTRAL IDAHO ONE OF THE SUN’S FAVORITEFAVORITE HANGOUTS | OFFICIAL IDAHO STATE TRAVEL GUIDE TRAVEL | OFFICIAL STATE IDAHO 98 Craters of the Moon Hope you don’t mind heights, because you’re about to enter Idaho’s most moun- tainous 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 endless 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 mountain lions. The Salmon River, ranked by National Geographic as one of the world’s top white- water adventures, begins in this region. This region is not new to adventure—this was the home of Sacajawea, the brave Lemhi-Shoshone woman who served as interpreter for the Lewis and Clark expe- dition as they made their way west to the Pacific Ocean.

    FIELD INVESTIGATION OF ASTRAGALUS VEXILLIFLEXUS VAR. NUBILUS (WHITE CLOUD MILKVETCH), A REGION 4 SENSITIVE SPECIES, ON THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL FOREST by Michael Mancuso and Robert K. Moseley Natural Heritage Section Nongame/Endangered Wildlife Program Bureau of Wildlife December 1990 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Cost-share Project Sawtooth National Forest Idaho Department of Fish and Game Purchase Order No. 40-0261-0-0801 ABSTRACT An inventory for Astragalus vexilliflexus var. nubilus (White Cloud milkvetch) was conducted on the Sawtooth National Forest by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Natural Heritage Program during August of 1990. The inventory was a cooperative Challenge Cost-share project between the Department and the Sawtooth National Forest. White Cloud milkvetch is a narrow endemic to the White Cloud Peaks and Boulder Mountains of central Idaho, in Custer County. Populations are scattered along the ridge systems that slope generally west to east on the east side of the White Cloud crest. Additionally, one population from the Bowery Creek drainage of the Boulder Mountains is known. It is a high elevation species, found mostly on exposed, dry, rocky ridge crests or upper slopes that typically support a relatively sparse vegetation cover. Prior to our 1990 survey, the species was known from three populations. Five new populations were discovered during the 1990 field investigation. Together, these eight populations support approximately 5,700 plants and cover an area less than 40 acres. Both current and potential threats have been identified at several populations.

  • Big Boulder Lakes Boulder-White Cloud Mountains Date Oct
    Big Boulder lakes Boulder-White Cloud Mountains Date Oct. 1-3, 2014 Time Location Big Boulder Lakes – Challis, ID Weather Clear & cold but very windy Fish Species Westslope Cutthroat, Grayling Size Range Potentially 18” or bigger Fish Caught 1 Westslope Cuthroat – The wind curtailed my fishing efforts and so I explored Flies Used Elk Hair Caddis, Pheasant Tail Nymph Techniques Dry fly, stripping nymphs Comments Some of the best scenery in Idaho! I cannot confirm the big fish stories. See additional photos of the Boulder-White Cloud Mountains: https://www.flickr.com/photos/120225686@N06/sets/72157648089810649 See trip video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Xsska2XlU When I think of big fish in alpine lakes in Idaho – I think of the Big Boulder Lakes. 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. A view near the lower section of trail on the way to Walker Lake Itinerary Wednesday – Drive 4 hours from Boise; less than a mile hike to Jimmy Smith Lake; Backpack 6 to 7 miles to Walker Lake (camp).

  • Copper Basin Area Lakes
    Date Early September Time All Day Location Copper Basin Area; Sun Valley, ID Weather Clear Fish Species Golden, Cutthroat, RB, Grayling Size Range 10 – 16” Fish Caught Several Golden & Cutthroat Flies Used Mostly Elk Hair Caddis; Adams Techniques Dry Fly Comments More Golden Trout in beautiful country! 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
    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.

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.

  • Distribution and Migration of the Black Rosy Finch
    18 Vol. 61 DISTRIBUTION AND MIGRATION OF THE BLACK ROSY FINCH By NORMAN R. FRENCH Since 1951, the alpine habitat of the Black Rosy Finch (Leucosticte tephroc&s atvutu) has been visited in many mountain ranges for the purpose of determining the breeding range of this species.The distribution of this specieshas long been uncertain. Available information is scattered and some of it remains unpublished in the form of museum specimens. This report adds new findings and summarizes existing data on distribution. Part of the work was conducted with sponsorship of the Jackson Hole Biological Station. Support from the New York Zoological Society and from the Frank M. Chap- man Memorial Fund made much of this effort possible. Jean B. French aided in all phases of the investigation. William H. Behle gave freely of his time and advice and was extremely helpful and cooperative at all times. Specimenscollected during this study have been added to the collection of the University of Utah Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (VU). I am indebted also to the following persons who furnished information or specimens from collections which were used in connection with this report: Lang Bailey, formerly with the Colorado Natural History Museum; R. M. de Schauensee, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences; Herbert Friedmann, U. S. National Mu- seum; H. K. Gloyd, Chicago Academy of Sciences; C. M.

  • Black Rosy-Finch Leucosticte Atrata
    Black Rosy-Finch Leucosticte atrata Aves — Passeriformes — Fringillidae CONSERVATION STATUS / CLASSIFICATION Rangewide: Apparently secure (G4) Statewide: Vulnerable (S3) ESA: No status USFS: Region 1: No status; Region 4: No status BLM: No status IDFG: Protected nongame BASIS FOR INCLUSION Lack of population estimates and trend data. TAXONOMY Despite some evidence of variation in bill size and shape between mountain ranges, no subspecies are currently recognized (Johnson 2002). Of the 3 species of rosy-finch that occur in North America (an additional 4 species also occur in Asia), the black rosy-finch is by far the darkest in color and in the middle position geographically between the gray- crowned rosy-finch (L. tephrocotis) to the north and west, and the brown-capped rosy- finch (L. australis) to the south and east. Hybridization between the black rosy-finch and 1 of the 6 subspecies of the gray-crowned rosy-finch (L. t. tephrocotis) was first discovered in the Bitterroot Range along the Montana-Idaho border (Mewaldt 1950), and subsequently in the Seven Devils Mountains (French 1959). DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE The black rosy-finch is found breeding above treeline in suitable habitat from central Idaho and west-central Montana southward through southeastern Oregon, northern and eastern Nevada to southern Utah and western and north-central Wyoming (Johnson 2002). Winter range for this species includes its breeding range, either on alpine tundra and open slopes just below treeline when snow levels are high, or lower in intermountain valleys and east slopes of mountains when snow levels are lower and higher slopes are snowbound (Johnson 2002).
