That dry, dusty country around Lucky Peak Reservoir looks pretty good with a dusting of snow. This shot was taken in November off Idaho 21 near Hilltop CafÝ, and it looks even whiter now. During winter, the area is home to a lot of deer and elk, which need to be left alone so they can survive their most difficult time of year. Idaho Department of Fish and Game has closed its Boise River Wildlife Management Area to the public. People should also stay away from wintering areas that aren’t on the wildlife management area. We are lucky to have so much wildlife so close to a major population area, and it’s important to give them a rest during winter so they can survive.
