It’s some of the most dazzlingly diverse country in the West, deserving of the gold standard of protection. We visit the three new wilderness areas in the center of Idaho – the White Clouds, the Hemingway-Boulders, and the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness – to tell the fascinating 50 year story of how the threat of an open pit molybdenum mine eventually led to a unanimous vote for Wilderness in Congress. And we examine some of the major battles yet to be decided. Outdoor Idaho goes exploring, beyond the White Clouds.
