Goldburg WSA

General Location: 29 miles southeast of Challis, Idaho

Natural Features: Consists of westward sloping alluvial foothills ranging from 6,100 feet of elevation on the west side to 8,800 feet on the east. The dominant vegetation is sage brush-grass with fingers and patches of Douglas-fir extending downslope from the Forest Service lands.

Total Acres: 3,290

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.
