The Colgate Lick Rest Area Is the Site of An Interesting Old Hot Mineral Springs, That Has Left Minerals Attractive to Animals.

….“Chris wants to go hiking up a trail and I let him, finding a small shady spot to sit back and rest. Just quiet now, and meditative.” (Cont. Next)

Colgate Lick Rest Area, Lochsa River Canyon, ID. There is a whole lot more here that is interesting besides the “fire burn“ area mentioned by the Narrator. This we can read on the sign, which is called “The Hot Springs Mineral Animal Lick”, and where the name of this Colgate Lick Rest Area comes from.
….Many thanks to Mr. Rick Parker of the Lochsa Ranger Station, National Forest Service, for this photo. More information about the Colgate Lick Rest Area or the Lochsa National Forest, may be found by typing this name into Google.
