You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Dinkey Lakes Wilderness''' is a federally designated [[wilderness area]]<ref>((Cite web |title=sierrawild.gov |url=https://www.sierrawild.gov/wilderness/dinkey-lakes/ |access-date=2022-06-03 |website=www.sierrawild.gov))</ref> located ((convert|45|mi|km)) northeast of Fresno, in the state of [[California]], United States. It comprises ((convert|30000|acre|0))<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=acreage&WID=159 |title=Wilderness Acreage Breakdown for The Dinkey Lakes Wilderness |publisher=Wilderness.net |access-date=2011-08-14))</ref> within the [[Sierra National Forest]] and was added to the [[National Wilderness Preservation System]] by the [[California Wilderness Act of 1984]].<ref>((Cite web |title=sierrawild.gov |url=https://www.sierrawild.gov/wilderness/dinkey-lakes/ |access-date=2022-06-03 |website=www.sierrawild.gov))</ref> Elevations range from ((convert|8200|ft|m)) to ((convert|10619|ft|m)). Recreational activities in the wilderness include day [[hiking]], [[backpacking (wilderness)|backpacking]], horseback riding, fishing, [[rock climbing]] and cross-country skiing.

== History ==

The Dinkey Lakes Wilderness is rumored to be named after a hunter's or shepherd's dog who died defending them from a bear in between what is now [[Courtright Reservoir]] and [[Shaver Lake]]. Sources claim that [[Dinkey Creek (California)|Dinkey Creek]] was the first landmark to be named after the dog with later landmarks following in suit.<ref>((Cite web |title=Dinkey Lakes-Westside Sierra |url=https://flyfishingthesierra.com/dinkey.htm |access-date=2022-06-03 |website=flyfishingthesierra.com))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=First Dinkey Lake ((!))

== Geography and Geology ==

The landscape of Dinkey Lakes Wilderness is composed of [[:simple:Subalpine zone|sub-alpine]] forests with high, rolling ridges made up of granitic bedrock interspersed with large, wet meadows. A high divide along the southwestern boundary  has several peaks over ((convert|10000|ft|m|abbr=on)). elevation, including the Three Sisters, Brown Peak, and Eagle Peak. Extensive glaciation is evident by the many [[cirques]] located at [[Tree line|timberline]].

== Flora and fauna ==
Wildlife include the North Kings and Huntington deer herds, [[American black bear|black bear]], [[golden-mantled ground squirrel]], [[coyote]], and the Sierra [[red fox]]. Also [[Martin (bird)|martins]], and [[pika]]s in rocky areas above timberline.

Dinkey Lakes Wilderness has forests of [[Abies magnifica|red fir]], [[Pinus contorta|lodgepole pine]], [[western white pine]], with [[mountain hemlock]] and [[Pinus albicaulis|whitebark pine]] at higher elevations. Additionally numerous flowering plants exist including multiple species of [[monkey flower]]<ref>((cite thesis |id=((ProQuest|1675346824)) |last1=Fraga |first1=Naomi |date=2015 |title=Diversity, endemism and conservation of California monkeyflowers (phrymaceae): A case study in erythranthe section paradantha ))</ref>

==  Recreation ==
The large [[John Muir Wilderness]] (((convert|580323|acre|ha))) is to the east of Dinkey Lakes and is separated from it by the Dusy-Ershim [[Off-road vehicle|Off-Highway Vehicle]] (OHV) route. This corridor links Kaiser Pass in the north to the [[Courtright Reservoir]] in the south. There are three other OHV routes to the west of the wilderness boundary and are popular in the summer months.

Three entry points into the wilderness are; the Cliff Lake trailhead  at Courtright Reservoir,  Dinkey Creek trailhead and the California Riding and Hiking trailhead located at D and F Pack Station on Kaiser Pass road.  There are ((convert|50|mi|km)) of trails offering a variety of one way and loop trips into the lake basin areas  and mountain summits.

The summits of Dogtooth Peak (((convert|10,256|ft|0|disp=or))<ref>((cite gnis |id=259447 |name=Dogtooth Peak |access-date=2011-08-14))</ref>) and Three Sisters (((convert|10,548|ft|0|disp=or))<ref>((cite gnis |id=268259 |name=Three Sisters |access-date=2011-08-14))</ref>) offer Class 2 and Class 3 rock climbing routes. <br>There are 17 lakes in the wilderness with 14 of those being stocked with golden, brook and rainbow [[trout]].

Winter recreation is limited by the long distance from plowed roads. The nearby Sierra Ski Summit Area on [[State Route 168|highway 168]] provides access to the D and F Pack Station and trailhead which is two miles (3&nbsp;km) north of the wilderness boundary.

A California [[campfire permit]] and a wilderness permit  are required all year for overnight trips and can be obtained at various ranger stations of the Sierra National Forest as well as the Courtright Reservoir Homeowners Association building at Courtright Reservoir.

Quotas are in place for Dinkey Lakes Wilderness to limit and control the number of visitors. Permits are in effect all year and are divided up between advance reservations (60%) and walk-ins (40%). Each trailhead has a quota limit.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsinternet/!ut/p/c4/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3gjAwhwtDDw9_AI8zPyhQoY6BdkOyoCAGixyPg!/?navtype=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&cid=fsbdev7_018115&navid=160000000000000&pnavid=null&ss=110515&position=Not%20Yet%20Determined.Html&ttype=detail&pname=Sierra%20National%20Forest-%20Passes |title=Obtaining a Wilderness Permit |publisher=Sierra National Forest U.S. Forest Service |access-date=2011-08-14))</ref>

The Forest Service encourages the practice of [[Leave No Trace]] principles of wilderness travel to minimize [[human impact on the environment]].
