Spanning the Idaho/Montana border, the Scotchmans are one of the last, and largest, wild areas in our region. We conduct education, outreach and stewardship activities to preserve the rugged, scenic and biologically diverse 88,000 acre Scotchman Peaks Roadless Area. We believe the Scotchman Peaks deserve congressional designation as Wilderness for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations.

Blue Creek by Moonlight - 02/27/10

This is an introduction to the southern boundaries of the Scotchman Peaks Wilderness. We will travel primarily on closed forest roads that climb steadily along the south face of Clayton Peak or on Fatman Mountain. Depending on the snow conditions, this will be either a moderate (condensed snowpack) or strenuous (heavy layer of new) hike. The hike will begin mid afternoon and continue into the evening, giving hikers a chance to enjoy the glory of a February full moon. Round trip, 7 to 9 miles. Elevation gain 1500 feet.
