106 Journal R.E.Johnson 1967 July 30 Harts Pass, Okanogan Co., Wash. to Trestle Creek, Bonner Co., Idaho. Drove north out of Spokane via US 2 & 195 through Newport, Priest River, and Sandpoint to a BLM picnic on US 10A area W. of Hope where I found tables & water to camped. July 31 Cabinet Mtns., Bonner Co., Idaho Clouds developing to the east mainly. Warm. Drove up Trestle Creek Road from US 10A. Most of the country is heavily timbered, however the ridge tops are somewhat open or sparsely timbered. For example the ridge between Trestle Creek & Lightning Creek (The Bee Top-Round Top Ridge) has north facing steep cirques with occasional tiny (5-10 ft.) snow patches. Thin timber does extend to the top of most of the pks. Many points are over 6000 ft. and the highest is apparently Trestle Pk (6320 ft) and the pk just north of it (6360+ ft.). A road (not on my maps) goes up the west slopes of this ridge from Trestle Creek Rd at a point ± below the switchback on above road. Trails lead off Trestle Creek Rd to various pks & ridges: ① Trout Pk (5226 ft.) is 2 miles by Trail 123. ② Trestle Pk is 3 miles on trail 120 from the saddle between Trestle & Lightning Creeks. (4 miles) A road leads to the top of Lunch Peak (6414 ft.) which has a lookout on it. The road leads from the above named saddle and is not on the maps. Lightning Creek is 3 miles via road from this saddle (& HW 10A is 9 miles back down Trestle Creek). The Lunch Pk L.O. stands on a rocky barren summit only a few feet above timber (firs).
