"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Lion FireIn 2017, the Lion Fire burned a large chunk of the Golden Trout Wilderness, including the usual approach to Coyote Peaks and Angora Mountain via Deep Creek. The forest is burned from about 6,000’ to about 9,500’ on the way to Coyote Peaks. The burn reaches almost to the summit of Angora Mountain. As of June 2018, the area was incredibly ugly, but travel wasn’t too difficult. If dead trees fall, and the USFS doesn’t remove them, travel could get very difficult.
