OPINION: Exploring the Great Burn

Nearly every weekend of this summer, I have ventured up into the heart of the Great Burn. Heart Lake. Dalton Lake. Cache Creek. Goose Lake. North Fork Fish Creek. West Fork Fish Creek. This area is no Glacier National Park; you may see five cars at the trailhead, not 300. But the Great Burn offers more than just solitude. The other weekend I descended off the Stateline Trail with a group of volunteers for the Great Burn Study Group — a group that had championed stewardship projects in this wild area for more than 40 years — only to find a moose bathing in a lake. This is not uncommon. The Great Burn provides exceptional habitat: few roads, few people, exposed alpine meadows, ancient cedar forests — it’s the last unprotected link in a chain of wilderness areas and national parks from Banff to the Frank Church in central Idaho. But there is no guarantee that the Great Burn will stay the way it is.
