Biscuit Fire

Despite the fire's general devestation, many small areas, especially near creeks, were spared. The Illinois River Canyon saw remarkably little burning. The Kalmiopsis is certainly very far from a wasteland!

Identify?

Which peak is that and where were you when you took this shot?

Re: Identify?

I took this from the ridge between Yukon and Klondike Creeks, just south of their confluence near the Illinois River. I expect this area is close to unreachable except via river trip. I believe the peak is the one labelled 4026 on the topo. If you're interested I have a recent photo of this view that I took this spring (this one's from 2004).

Re: Identify?

Consider me interested. I have been planning a trip up to Vulcan Peak in the Kalmiopsis for early summer. Even though it burned, I am keen to investigate other parts of the wilderness. Bummed if it is only reachable by raft. What are your thoughts on the Illinois and Chetco?
