There are some sources of information about the Granite Chief Wilderness online, but they are all missing something, so I'll do my part to contribute those missing parts. Though I've spent a lot of time in the wilderness over the last six years, I've not (yet!) seen all of it.
The Granite Chief Wilderness was established in 1984 as part of the California Wilderness Act. It is about 25,000 acres, and almost entirely in the headwaters watershed of the Middle Fork of the American River (and the Rubicon River, which flows into the Middle Fork).
About
This website and the companion blog were created by Dan Allison, a backpacker in the Granite Chief Wilderness.
Your questions, comments, and corrections are welcome! The blog is meant to fill a gap, to provide information not provided by other websites related to the Granite Chief Wilderness, not meant to be comprehensive. So please use the links at right to explore other websites related to the wilderness.
Note: For a period of time in the winter of 2009-2010, the trail tabs were not working and some of the information was inaccessible. My apologies. I believe everything is now working, but please let me know if it is not, using the contact form accessible in the right-hand column.
