glaciers, and mountains may be had by climbing one of the 9,000-foot peaks 

 near by. 



The Eagle Forks and Two Color IMeadows trip brings one to the center of a 

 fish and game country. It is 45 miles from Baker to Eagle Forks by wagon, going 

 in via the Sanger Mine and Eagle River power-plant. It is 3 miles farther by trail 

 to Two Color Meadows, a good camping place with plenty of horse feed. From 

 here various points of interest can be visited by trail, such as "The Falls," Bennet 

 Peak, which is in the grouse country and on which a Forest Servdce fire lookout 

 remains during the dry months of the year, Hummingbird ^Mountain, and Look- 

 inglass Lake, which was stocked with fish in 191 5. A scenic route northerly from 

 Lookinglass Lake leads through a deer country to Eagle Lake, which was also 

 artificially stocked. 



East Eagle Park is a good fishing and camping ground, which can be reached 

 from Baker by automobile in four hours. To reach East Eagle, enter the Forest 

 near Sparta, travel north to the Union-Cornucopia Road at the Lily White mine, 

 thence east about a mile to the forks of the road. The left-hand road leads to Eagle 

 Creek and East Eagle. From the Eagle Creek Bridge it is 6 miles to the park. 

 Hunters will find deer, bear, pheasants, and grouse. Those wishing huckleberries 

 will find a large patch east of the creek. 



Along both sides of Jack Creek, a small tributary of Eagle Creek in the midst 

 of the so-called East Eagle Park, a natural park-like area, the Forest Ser\dce has 

 set aside a small summer-home site including 8 lots which may be leased by the 

 public at the rate of $10 per lot per annum. This is called the Jack Creek summer 

 home site area, and is 1 5 miles from Sparta and 46 miles from Baker by automobile 

 road. 



If a rough trip is desired, a journey can be made to Eagle Cap and Hidden 

 Lake at the head of the stream. Eagle Cap, about 9,675 feet, is the highest peak 

 on the Minam Forest. From its summit can be seen hundreds of snowcapped 

 peaks of the Wallowa Mountains. 



Fish Lake can be reached by wagon or automobile from Halfway over 25 miles 

 of rough road. The trail offers a more desirable route of 18 miles. Hundreds of 

 Eagle and Pine Valley people use this camp ground every summer. The red-meat 

 trout is caught from Fish Lake by the thousands, and deer and bear are found in 

 the heavily timbered belts in the vicinity. Grouse make their homes on Russell
