The snags are in a swampy area along the Saint Joe River's North Fork, near Bullion Creek, north of Avery, Idaho. [2]

Salvage logging was done after 1910, but numerous large snags survived from 1910 to 1984 unchanged. The grove "stands as significant evidence of a vast forest that was destroyed by intense heat." [2]
