CLICK ON GREEN

 Eureka Ridge:
     Just passed the locked gate, the road emerges from the trees.  As the road goes down Eureka Ridge, it gets steeper and rockier.  
      One of the real hazards along this trail are the "bowling ball" size rocks that lie hidden in the deep green grass of spring. Combine them with too much speed and you have a recipe for the famous "Chinese Wheelie"!  
     "This picture looks down into the Snake River Gorge about 3000 feet below.  The drainage is Eureka Creek and it contains a cabin and some of the best groves of Poison Oak in the world.  
   Last August, a major fire started about 10 miles north of here and burned an area of about 80 square miles.  If the fire got into this canyon it would certainly have destroyed the cabin and hopefully the poison oak!
