It is beautiful up on Teakettle Mtn. this spring. While excess rainfall has caused substantial flooding damage in the area, it has also led to a rich lush forest this year.

We took a nice ride up McGinnis creek today with our neighbor joining us. This is a beautiful area for a spring ride. Easy riding up old Forest Service roads that are closed to motorized vehicles till July 1. Every little waterway or drainage seemed to have water flowing, and the forage was exceptional, but we only saw one lone elk. From the pass you get great views looking toward the camas valley and Glacier Park.
