  Cedar Pass:The Cedar Pass Project lies at the crest of the Warner Mountain Range along the summit of State Route 299. At over 6,000 feet, it is home to several goshawk territories, the pine marten, high elevation meadows, and beautiful old growth fir stands. The Forest Service is proposing to remove bug- killed trees up to 30" in diameter on over 520 acres, and improve aspen habitat. Several of the proposed units are inside the Cedar Pass Ski Area, a popular winter recreation area, and summer hiking trailhead.
