the renewal of life.
For children it is growth --
the gaining of life.

 Stitching the diverse lands of the Boulder-White Clouds together is the immense East Fork watershed. Here are bighorn sheep, elk, antelope and mule deer migration routes, and critical wildlife winter range. From the Salmon River 25 miles upstream to Bowery Guard Station, the East Fork and its tributaries provide rearing and spawning habitat for Chinook salmon, steelhead, bull trout and west slope cutthroat. Trails depart to wild places in all directions – like Big and Little Boulder Creeks to Castle Peak and scores of high lakes. Or, to Railroad Ridge, a 10,000-foot high ancient moraine with rare alpine plants and bighorns. Eastward routes go from Bowery Creek to Bowery Peak, 10,861’; Long Tom Creek to Pass Peak, 10,765’; Sheep Creek to Sheep Mountain, 10,910’ and West Pass Creek to Cougar Canyon and beyond. Wild country, indeed!
