AREA IS PICTURED
AS
Mountain Lakes Region Is
Found Abundant in Vistas
of Regal Grandeur Now
Ideal for Riding, Hiking
The following deacriptlon of a near
by recreational area was Issued today
by the Rogue River national forest
, service:
1 "The Mountain lakes primitive
area In the Rogue River national for
eat. Just east of Lake of the Woods,
holds many Interesting features for
those who oare to hike or ride over
the 13-mlle woodland trail Into this
unspoiled territory. Primitive areas
In the national forests are set aside
as tracts In which no roads or other
improvements, except trails and crude
shelters, will bo constructed, They
are areas which are to bo kept as
nearly as possible aa God made them.
This particular tract, containing
mountains and lakes, hold attrac
tions for practically everyone, regard
less of what the Individual Is seeking
in the way of recreation.
"For the hiker or rider there are
woodland trails; for the fisherman
well -stocked lakes; for everyone, the
scenic marvela of the timber, lakes
and mountains. The tract Is easily
accessible, situated only 13 miles by
trail from Lake of the Woods, The
area Is particularly attractive during
this season of the year as mosquito
have disappeared and fish are rising
to a fly. The weather Is cooler and
the visibility much better than dur
ing the summer, During the past
week, two forest officers visited the
tract and their impressions give some
of the interesting features to be
found in the area.
Buck Delays Start
"The trip was scheduled to start
from Lake of the Woods before eight
o'clock In the morning but Buck, the
government mule which was to ac
company the party, and the mount
fo.- the ranger, had a different Idea.
The plan was to haul the stock In a
trailer from the lake to a point where
the trail took off from the road. The
saddle horse walked In the trailer
with only a little coaxing, but Buck
absolutely ret used to be loaded. It
may have been because It was cool
and Buck felt It would be more com
fortable to walk: at least he had a
very definite notion that he wasn't
going to ride. However, in about half
an hour of concentrated effort on
the part of four guards and the
rangers. Buck was in the trailer sit
ting down with his four feet braced
in front of him like a dog and look
ing very disgusted.
"About the time that everyone de
cided that there were no objections
if Buck wanted to sit down, he had
another brilliant Idea. He got to hit
feet and then Jumped out of the
trailer without breaking his neck,
both of which feats were a surprise.
Anyway, Buck won. He didn't ride
but trotted along behind the trailer
and made no objections to being rid
den when it came time for that. In
fact he was a very well-behaved rmilc
during the remainder of the trip.
"The weather was ideal, the air,
cool-crisp, was free from dust and
smoke but heavily laden with the
fragrant scent of the forest. The trail
gradually gained elevation, wound
through the timber to the summit
of the ridge east of the Lake of the
Woods. Each open space in the tim
ber offered a different tcene: Lake
of the Woods, -surrounded by green
timber, sparkled In the morning sun
light; Mount Shasta, with Us white
patches of snow; Mount McLaughlin,
sprinkled .with the first snowfall of
the autumn; the broken line of
Crater lake; and row after row of hills
and lesser mountains stretching away
until they were lost In the distance.
No deer were seen but tracks were
numerous along the trait and occas
ionally a grouse was flushed and flew
out with a startling whir of wings.
Coyote Tracks Seen
"After reaching the summit of the
first ridge, the trail dropped Into and
across the head of Wood creek. This
stream heads in a basin formed by
Oraylock, Crater mountain and a
number of high rocky ridges. It con
tains numerous beautiful small lakes
and ponds. Patches of snow began
to appear along the trail and In them
were occasionally the tracks of a coy
ote. After crossing the head of Wood
creek, the trail rises sharply and was
almost continually covered with
snow. Here were the tracks of an old
bear and three cubs who had fol
lowed the trail for some distance.
Apparently they had been in Como
lake country and were seeking a
lower, warmer territory.
"At the point where the trail
crosses the summit between Wood
creek and Moss creek, it Is necessary
to stop because the vista here Is one
that cannot be covered with a glance.
The pass Is practically surrounded by
mountains, all of which are over
7,000 feet In elevation. Some of the
summits are covered with white bark
white pine and hemlock, twisted and
contorted by their eternal fight for
existence with the wind and the
snow. Other slopes have great masses
of broken, Jumpled gray and red
rocks. On those tht snow has melted
on one side of the rocks, giving it
all a salt-and-pepper appearance.
"Above the huge rock piles, per
pendicular cliffs rise hundreds of feet
to end In a Jagged line across the
blue sky. Between the peaks and to
the east is an excellent view of
Klamath lake and beyond, the pine
covered hills and mountains extend
until they grow dim in the haze of
the distance. To the north are Mount
Thielsen and Crater lake rim, and to
the east, a divide of the Cascade
range from Crater lake to the eiskl
timber, mountain peaks and lakes. To
the south Mount Shasta and the sur
rounding hills form another Inter
esting scene.
View Awe-Inspiring .
"Prom here the trail drops down
over rock slides Into the timber and
Como lake. This lake Is only about
five acres in size but In the evening
the water la practically covered by
ripples made by trout feeding. Por
several years the forest service has
been planting eastern brook In these
lakes and the result from either short
or a crude rart, an hour with a fly
rod and a September evening, Is all
that is needed to catch the limit of
six to 12-inch trout.
"Leaving Como lake, the trail con
tinues to Lake Harriette. winding
around through the hemlock and rock
slides to a pass In the ridge. It zig
zags down Into a basin surrounded
on three sides by mountains. And
here is a scene, which, had the rest
of the trip contained nothing of In
terest, would have made the entire
Journey worthwhile: the sky broken
only occasionally by wispy whlw
clouds which served to emphasize by
contrast Its deep blue; the ragged,
snow-capped rim of Mount Carmine
and Whlteface peak terminating in
masses of broken rock and fringes oi
aaric green hemlock; through thi
trees, as though framed. Is Lake Haj.
