After an exciting dry thunder and lightning show the night before, we headed out on our final hike in the Indian Heaven Wilderness, to Lake Wapiki. We started out on the Filloon Trail, a feeder trail that starts at Little Goose Camp, a more primitive and horsey camp located off Road 24, southeast of Cultus Creek CG. The Lemhi Rock Trail can also be accessed from Road 24, just east of Smokey Creek CG or from Indian Heaven #33 near Cultus Lake. This dusty gentle trail climbs through open white pine, subalpine, silver fir and mountain hemlock forest, with a thin scattering of bright green larch. The trail is dusty and rocky in places, but a more gentle approach to the Wilderness except for a short section with 400 feet gain going over the shoulder of Lemhi Rock. We hiked up to the junction with the Wapiki Lake Trail, taking it to the lovely lake. Of all the lakes visited, this one had some of the nicest camps, although all were located within the 100 feet of shoreline, which is officially discouraged in the national forest signs and literature but not posted or enforced. The area is filled with huckleberry, grassy meadows, rocky shores, heather and thick forest. There is a web of way trails extending out everywhere going to some of the other pond/lakes in the area, other hidden camps and at least one trail ascending in an alternate route to the top of Lemhi Rock. Being tired from hiking, I was content to rest at the lake and enjoy the play of sunlight on the blue-green waters, as well as watching other hikers up on Lemhi Rock some 400 feet or so above. We also visited the three other lakes in the basin area. I found Indian Heaven to be huckleberry heaven and a nice place to go, but would recommend saving it for any time other than a holiday weekend. Campers and hikers were pleasant and friendly. We encountered only one bow hunter, dressed in camie and makeup who was a pleasant chap (Labor Day is first day of bow and black powder season; goat, bear and cougar season starts August 1st). As for game, all the hikers, dogs and noise had driven them deep into hiding for the weekend. Bugs are also a severe problem earlier in the season. If going camping here, bring a good water filter. The only water available is from the lakes and from what I saw, dogs and humans go swimming in them. There was NO water in any of the creeks at all, except low flow near the Cultus Creek CG. The campground water system was unusable, so bring in drinking water or a filter.
