Thing is, what kind of outdoorsman takes the time to backpack 7 to 9 miles to a pristine place and doesn't have the smarts to NOT wash yourself with shampoo or soap in the lake?
Yeah, you and I would get along REALLY well. I went in to West Lake in the West Canada Lake Wilderness and people left behing dishwashing soap at the leantos - apparently washing they're dishes in or near a pristine lake in a beautiful wilderness area. I packed those fuckers out. I would have been livid if I caught anybody doing dumb things.
"I don't know how there can be private land in the middle of a wilderness"
Outrageous, isn't it?
We have a situation like that in the Five Ponds Wilderness in the Adirondacks...a speck of private land in the middle of wilderness - which allows ATV's on the trail to their land. Ridiculous
The reason the trees are so sparse in this area has to do with the rockiness of the terrain. Most areas of Idaho are extremely rugged. Further north there are a lot of trees, but in the Frank Church trees are sparse.
I wonder what Frank Church would have to say about that! Great vid. Would love to make it up there someday.

The road grants access to fire crews and helipads. The trees are mostly Lodgepole Pine and Ponderosa (big ones).

Is it normal to have the trees looking so spread out there or is that from logging? I'm use to dense forests in the Adirondacks.
