Island lake and surrounding mtns


Took this a few years back on another of our search and rescue operations near Island lake. On the far left of the pic is Elephant head peak and I believe the center one is Faler peak??? That sure is rugged country. I can't remember the name of the person who disappeared here in about 1998 but I do remember that we put hundreds of man hours and search dog hours in trying to find the guy. We surmised he was fishing in island lake, tried to take a shortcut back to camp by jumping over a small stream near the inlet of island lake, slipped and fell into some caverns where the water hits the lake from the falls. We took some "cadaver" trained dogs back there in about 2001 and the dogs "hit" on that area. It is just too dark and nearly impossible to get back in the area where his body may be. Those cadaver dogs are fascinating to watch work. If the smell something you can bet that there's a body in the area. Good grief!! that's morbid...I need to post some "happy" pictures...LOL
