Palisades Ride and Pack Trip
As you know we are planning a two night/three day pack trip to the Upper Palisades Lake. The dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 9, 10, & 11. I hope we can leave the Palisades Parking lot by 10:30 AM. We need to be there by 9:30 to put our loads together. If you would like to go please email me (robertdeeter@icloud.com) with the answer to the following questions:
1. Will you go on the above dates? In your email please include your other contact information.
2. Do you have a horse or mule and equipment that is suitable for packing?
3. Can you carry your personal items on your riding horse?
We will ride to the upper end of the upper lake and set up camp on Thursday. On Friday we can ride on up Palisades Creek Canyon to the water falls ( probably not much water this year). On Saturday morning we will pack up and return to the trailhead.
Our menu will depend on how many go and the number of pack animals we have.
God bless the trails we ride. Bob Deeter

For those that can not stay overnight, the Palisades Trail can be done in one day, and is an an easy trail to follow.

Idaho is blessed with thousands of square miles of open public land. However, access to the back country is by a network of fragile trails. Just as our roads need constant repair so do back country trails. When trails become washed out or blocked by natural downfall and overgrowth, people stop using them. Under use of a trail is as bad as over use. Horse back riders, hikers, back packers, mountain bikers, and trail runners, all share the same trail. PRBCH would like to promote cooperation among these trail users through planning, volunteer service, public education, and negotiation with government agencies.
The Federal government owns 61.6% of Idaho, only exceeded a little bit by Utah 64.9%, and a lot by Alaska 84.9%. Idaho has the greatest percent of its land in national forests 38.2%. And, while only 2.58% of the lower continental United States is designated as wilderness, Idaho contains 4.8 million acres of wilderness, 3rd largest in the U.S..
