Boulder Creek WSA

General Location: 27 miles southwest of Challis, Idaho

Natural Features: Consists of moderately steep terrain dropping from 8,100 feet of elevation on the west side to 6,140 feet on the east side. Vegetation is primarily sagebrush with pockets of Douglas-fir. Little Boulder Creek flows through the center of the WSA and provides habitat for both anadromous and resident fish habitat.

Total Acres: 1,930

Acres Supported by BLM for Wilderness Designation: None

Rationale for BLM’s Recommendation: Since the adjacent Forest Service Rare II area was determined not suitable as wilderness, the BLM determined that this WSA could not stand on it’s own merits.
