[QUOTE="tt35, post: 986137, member: 25362"] kcbecj has probably forgotten more about that country than I will ever know but I've been going into that area since I was a kid. Granted, it's been quite a few years ago now but two of my brothers took horses down the Deep Creek trail to the river. Let's just say it was a looong several miles. The trail was unmaintained and non-existent in quite a few places. The periodic fires left snags falling across the trail that they had to excavate [B]under[/B] to pass. And, eventually, not far above the Snake, the trail had slid completely off the hillside. They had to literally pack and stack rocks to build enough trail to get the horses across. What should have been a few hours turned out to be an overnight ordeal. Just because a sign or a map says there is a trail doesn't mean the trail is passable. lightbulb kcbecj is also correct concerning the high country snow. The upper passes into the area approach 7000 ft. Be careful not to get your self in a jam up there. All that being said, I'm still jealous of your tag. That is some amazingly beautiful country. I hope you do well. I'd love to hear how your hunt goes. Tim [/QUOTE]
