| 説明 | Looking for some space? How about 218,000 acres of wilderness spanning across two Western states for your #mypubliclandsroadtrip?That is exactly what the Hells Canyon Wilderness offers in northeast Oregon and western Idaho. Much of the area is split by the Wild and Scenic Snake River, too.On the Oregon side, the higher elevation areas are characteristic of rocky slopes and grasslands laced with ‘stringer canyons’ and groves composed of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine. The lower elevations are dominated by grassland benches with steep canyons and ravines dissecting the isolated Oregon-side.Two National trails are found at various elevations: Western Rim/Summit Ridge Recreation Trail at the upper elevation; and the Nez Perce National Historic Trail near the Snake River. And the wilderness is known to be home to Rocky Mountain elk, bighorn sheep, mule deer and chukar.The wilderness is so big, it is jointly managed with the U.S. Forest Service. Recently, the Wallowa Whitman National Forest obtained BLM wild horses from Nevada that were trained to be pack animals in the rugged wilderness area! |
