North Fork of the Bigwood Hike with ICL

Ten years ago this summer, the Boulder-White Clouds were permanently protected - a historic achievement that took the efforts of ICL and its supporters decades to make a reality. In celebration of a decade of protections for this special place, we'd like to invite you to join ICL on a summer hike!

Wednesday, September 10th 8:30am - 3:30pm North Fork of the Bigwood River

This beautiful valley follows the North Fork of the Bigwood River as it flows off the Boulder Divide and down the slopes of some of the largest mountains in the area. The trail is out-and-back with moderate vertical gain (about 1,000 ft) over about 6 miles. We'll head into the heart of the Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness, and you'll feel the true "out there" feelings that define Wilderness.

Meeting Place: North Fork Wood River trailhead (the end of the road past the SNRA headquarters), about 30 minutes from Ketchum - four-wheel drive vehicle recommended - carpools available if you need a ride.

Space is very limited due to Wilderness regulations (maximum group size is 12 people), so please sign up in advance and note that the start time is the time we will be meeting at the listed trailhead.
