These toe slopes rise into the steep, rocky slopes of the Amedee Mountains-dissected by numerous canyons and ridges on the south and very steep, nearly vertical, cliffs of crumbly volcanic rock on the west (called Wendell Cliffs).
The southern and western toe slopes are shrub- and grass covered alluvial slopes and gravel benches, the remnants of pleistocene Lake Lahontan shorelines. The northern and eastern edges of the WSA are open, sagebrush-covered flats that develop into long toe slopes, leading into Skedaddle Mountain. Guided Trail Running in and around Speyside and Moray, join us for a day or indulge in a weekend retreat of running and connecting with the great outdoors. Sagebrush and bunch grass vegetation dominate the majority of the WSA. The deep canyons support riparian vegetation (willows, wild rose, and berry shrubs) and the upland basins, small grass meadows. Each side had about 18,000 poorly trained and poorly led troops. The Union Army was slow in positioning themselves, allowing Confederate reinforcements time to arrive by rail. The higher Skedaddle elevations support scattered small aspen groves and patches of large berry shrubs, primarily on the northern slopes. The battle was fought on July 21, 1861, in Prince William County, Virginia, just north of the city of Manassas and about thirty miles west-southwest of Washington, D.C. The core area of the WSA, an eroded volcanic caldera, is dominated by rugged vertical cliffs, canyons, peaks and upland basins of the Skedaddle Mountains and Amedee Mountains.

These peaks rise from adjacent seasonally dry lake beds and low, sloping hills from elevations of 4,200 feet to the 7,680-foot summit of Skedaddle Mountain, called Hot Springs Peak. This quickly escalated into a full on rout all the way back to Washington, becoming known as The Great Skedaddle.
The Skedaddle and Amedee Mountains located in the central and southern parts of the WSA are its dominant physical features. Navy bombardment, the Battle of Port Royal ended with. The WSA comprises an area approximately 10 by 12 miles. South Carolina Sea Islands, November 1861 - After a brief, decisive U.S. 1861 The Great Skedaddle We will begin with the first major battle of the Civil War, which many on both sides during that first summer of 1861 believed would decide the conflict, perhaps in a single day. The WSA is located on the northwestern edge of the arid Great Basin, characterized by eroded volcanic mountains and expansive desert valleys (the remains of ancient lake beds). The WSA contains 62,010 acres of BLM-administered land and 1,179 acres of private land that is located in seven parcels, varying in size from 40 to 640 acres. It gives them an idea and the seeds of Skedaddle are sown. Our intrepid directors, Paul and Andrew (Straws) head off to Chile on a year-long biking adventure.
The Skedaddle Wilderness Study Area (WSA) is located in Lassen County, California (99.5%) and in Washoe County, Nevada (0.5%). 2020 marks a big year for us here at Skedaddle, 25 years of pedallin' the globe in search of good vibes and great adventures 1994.
