This is not to
imply that these are lands of no merit, but that it would be to our advantage
to allow these areas, most of which have already been used for these types of
recreation, to be developed in an attempt to save other areas. The remaining
priorities two and three areas contain 14 peaks on the list. It would be
desirable to place as many of these as possible into natural areas within the
recreational areas. The BLM mentions that it desires to do just that, but it
would not hurt to reinforce their intentions by working with them in the
designing of the final plans.
The DPS should become involved with this
program as a group and as individuals. encourage you all to familiarize
yourself with this document in general and specifically with the plans for
those areas containing qualifying peaks. Any ideas, suggestions, or offers of
other services would be greatly appreciated.

RUBY DOME - Vitz/Haven
The
Ruby Mountains in north central Nevada were advertised by leader Bill Clifton
as being our most beautiful desert range. Most participants in the Fourth of
July trip would surely agree, if the qualifier "in the United States" were
added. The Ruby Mountains, lying south and east of Elko, are about 100 miles in
length and contain many fine peaks in excess of 10000 feet, impressive cliffs,
lakes, valleys and streams. Lamoille Canyon, the main entryway to the range, is
developed enough to contain a boy scout camp near the mouth and a campground
about half way up. This area is heavily used by fishermen but many fine forest
service trails lead into remote back country. A 46 mile long trail follows the
