The Fisher Gulch Roadless Area occupies an area of about 5. 2 sq mi near the Trinity Alps in the Klamath Mountains, about 10 mi northwest of Weaverville, California. On the basis of a study, the Fisher Gulch Roadless Area has a probable potential for small amounts of placer gold resources in a narrow elongate area along the northeast boundary. There is little promise for the occurrence of other metallic, or nonmetallic resources and the geologic terrane precludes the occurrence of fossil fuel resources.
