Overnight Hike to Weitas Creek Roadless Area

Come and enjoy a full moon weekend and the howls of wolves in the Wild Clearwater Country! Friends of the Clearwater and the Palouse Group of the Sierra Club are hosting an overnight camping and hiking trip into the upper Weitas Creek basin. Depending on snow conditions in the area, possible alternate routes may include the Gravey Creek and the Cayuse Creek watersheds. These and adjacent drainages together constitute the 255,000-acre Weitas Creek Roadless Area – the largest, unprotected wildland not adjoining designated wilderness in the Clearwater and Nez Perce National Forests. Please bring sturdy camping gear and hiking footwear, raingear, food, and water and meet at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 19, at the Rosauers sign in Moscow. We will return by 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 20.
