AREA
OF THE MONTH
Sky Lakes Wilderness
Sky Lakes Wilderness
was created by Congress in 1984. It covers 113,590 acres and straddles
the southern Oregon Cascades from Crater Lake National Park southward to
Highway 140. The elevations of this wilderness range from 3,800 feet
in the canyon of the Middle Fork of the Rogue River, to a lofty 9495 feet
at the top of Mount McLoughlin.
More than 200 pools of water, from mere ponds to lakes of 30 to 40 acres,
dot the landscape. Fourmile Lake, near the southern end exceeds 900
acres.
Hikers and Horsemen will find a well constructed, well maintained Pacific
Crest Trail winding along 35 miles of the summit of the Cascade Range through
the Wilderness. A trailhead on Highway 140, a mile east of Fish Lake,
is the southern entrance point. The trail passes through lake basins
and over ridges on its way north, where it crosses into Crater Lake National
Park.
The Sky Lakes Wilderness contains evidence of use by previous visitors
- from the stone tools of prehistoric Indians to 20th century cabins and
shelters. These cultural resources are protected by law for public
enjoyment and education; please do not remove, disturb or destroy these
gifts from the past.
A Map of this wilderness may be obtained from Compass Mentus for $4.00
plus shipping and handling.

Blue
Mountains spring bear
hunt applications due
March 17, 2000
Hunters who want a chance to be drawn for
a Blue Mountains spring black bear hunting permit must submit applications
to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) by March 17.
Permit applications, and the 2000 season
hunting licenses and tags, will be available by March 1 at WDFW offices
and license dealers. Interested hunters should mark their calendars now
to avoid missing the relatively short application period.
The special-permit season for any legal
hunting equipment (modern firearm, archery, muzzleloader) is April 15 to
May 25 in seven game management units in the Blue Mountains of southeast
Washington. A total of 100 permits will be drawn, 25 for the Wenaha unit,
15 each for the Blue Creek, Dayton, Mountain View, and Lick Creek units,
10 for the Tucannon unit, and 5 for the Grande Ronde unit. No bait nor
hounds may be used to hunt black bears.
Last year was the first year for a spring
Blue Mountains black bear hunt and 518 hunters applied for 70 permits.
Applicants must have a valid Washington
big game license that includes black bear and purchase an application card
($5 for residents, $3 for youth hunters under 16, $50 for non-residents).
Partnership applications can be made for the same fees per applicant; if
a partnership application is drawn, both hunters receive a permit. Completed
applications must be received at a WDFW office by 5 p.m. on March 17, or
postmarked by March 17 if mailed.
Permits will be drawn and permittees notified
by March 31.
