115 Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 August 2 Selkirk Mtns, Boundary Co., Idaho (cont.) Zuni Creek Rd To Roman Nose Lookout 6 mi. To Rds End 2 mi Priest Lake Divide Tr. # 217 (from road end) To Harrison Lake 2 mi. Priest Lake Divide Tr. # 217 (from point 19 mi. up rd.) To Beehive Lake 4 mi (can drive 1st mile) West Branch Road (From 16.5 mi. up Rd.) To Roads end 2.5 mi. according to sign (actually 1.5 mi.) To Chimney Rock 5 mi. The Selkirks have a number of peaks above 7000 ft. Most of these are west of the Pach River but Roman Nose (7264 ft) is on the east side. It has several lakes located on its NE side (apparently steep cliffs above them, suggesting Rosy Finch habitat, however the peak itself has sparse timber to the top on the south & west slopes. It is probably most easily reached by road from the east side. On the west side of Pach River the high points (from south to north) include Gunsight Pk (7200ft), Mt. Roothann (7200 ft.), Chimney Rock, Twin Peaks (7200 ft.). Several other pks occur at the head of the canyon including Harrison Pk (7000 ft). Twin Peaks look particularly alpine in character. Drove back to Samowen Campground that evening.
