After a breakfast of frozen onions, the caravan of about 80 marched eight miles to a truck sent to retrieve them. After a partial thaw a few days later, they returned to finish scattering seed on six inches of snow. Today timber cutting and grazing are in Willard's history. A mining claim still exists on the south flank of Willard Peak. Raptors, moose, deer, elk, bobcats, mountain lions, mouintain goats and bear have claimed it as their domain.
Recreation is the primary use.
The only new tracks etched in this soil now are those left by hikers, horseback riders, mountain bikers and all-terrain vehicles. We do have a lot of motorized recreation up there.
