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.

East Fork Creek Ski and Shoe -

We’ll follow the perimeter of the proposed Scotchman Peaks Wilderness along the Lightning Creek Road. Depending on how far we can drive we may cross East Fork Creek and then follow its flood plain past the new trailhead, exploring a jumble of trees and boulders. The route will be out and back, total distance dependent upon how far we go before turning around. Cross-country skis or snowshoes will be needed. Bring a lunch.
