Overview
This undulating area marks the western boundary of Hope County, with thick forests to the north that gradually thin out to rocky heath terrain as you near the water to the west. The eastern part of this subregion is dominated by Raptor Peak, the tallest mountain of all, and a base-jump you must see to believe! Toward the southern edge is the road around Rock Bass Lake, where there are bubbling geothermal pools that haven’t yet been too tainted by Bliss. Mostly, though, this is a place to ride quads or helicopters or hike—when you’re not hunting moose or bison, of course.
