Photo of South Quinault Ridge Roadless Area. Picture shows a lake in the foreground, with the snow capped peaks of the Colonel Bob Wilderness in the distance. The roadless area is a forested ridge on the right side of the photo. About half of the roadless area is shown. Picture shows a snowy mountiain peak beyond some conifer trees in the foreground.
Snow is on the ground.
The mountainside is rocky with some natural openings. Picture shows a single white-capped mountain in the background against a cloudy sky. The mountain is Mt. McLoughlin, a 9,495' peak located in the Sky Lakes Wilderness as viewed from the summit of Brown Mountain. A telemark skier is looking into the hole. The fumaroles testify to the volcanic origin of the mountains.
