Communities on the Edge
Idaho’s central landscape contains a matrix of forests administered by the USDA Forest Service. Within the ranger districts, the lands include multiple use areas, nationally recognized wilderness, as well as rivers appropriately designated “wild and scenic”. A traveler can circumvent this block of the National Forest System by driving the Wilderness Loop – an edge created by highway systems in Idaho and Montana. The road system leads to towns that punctuate the map, the Communities on the Edge.
This series of photo journals document land use topics on the edge of the National Forest System, beginning with Long Valley.
