Not sure about that specific National Forest, but i've seen some killer Western Junipers which come from Idaho.

It's always funny for me to see how many place names, or Native American names come from the French. Détroit, Sioux, Grand Téton, Cheyennes, Coeur d'Alène, etc.

It is said that the French Canadians called this people "Hearts of Awls" because they were hard in business, as hard as an awl piercing leather :)

I doubt that many young people today still know what "une alène" is... Apart from crosswords fans, but they're usually older :D

those are white people names. the nez perce call themselves the Nee Mee Poo, means us the people. the tribes from cda call themselves Schitsu'umsh, it means the discovered people.

I live close to cda. we have pondarosa pine, western larch, hawthorn, some juniper, crab apple, mountain hemlock, pacific yew and more.

may check with the BLM to make sure too you dont need a permit

Sound advice. But the country is so big that with the right permits and a lot of care, mother nature should be OK :)

In smaller countries, "yamadori raiders" can be a problem...
