About

Imported description
In Idaho, BLM manages over 7,000 acres of public lands in the Deer Creek Wilderness Study Area.

The higher elevations have aspen, tobacco brush, Indian paintbrush and lupine. Elk, deer, bear, coyotes, birds of prey and upland game birds can be seen here. Visitors here can enjoy hiking, nature study, photography and hunting.
