January 2012 Update
"Bring Back the Pow Wow Trail!" Pagami Creek Fire has swallowed up the Pow Wow Trail. The entire Pow Wow Trail (except a short segment) was burned down in the Pagami Creek Fire. BWA Committee responded and organized a Coalition to "Bring Back the Pow Wow Trail!" The Coalition, now comprised of ten outdoor and environmental organizations, sent a letter to the USFS requesting to keep the Pow Wow Trail open. USFS replied on December 21, 2011. Both letters will be available on this website on January 16.

Thank you Midwest Mountain--eering and employees!
