Part of the allure of the wild country is that a scene like this
(Munson Creek flowing through the cedars in the Teepee-Spring Creek roadless area)
or a scene like this
(Old growth cedars along Munson Creek)
is only a four hour hike from a scene like this.
(North side of Coeur d’Alene Mountain peaks in the Cherry Peak roadless area viewed from the South slope of Big Hole Peak)
Both of these roadless areas would receive the Federal protection of a “Wilderness” classification under the provisions of House of Representatives Bill 1975 now in process in the 110th Congress.
