Welcome to the Bitterroot National Forest

Leave your stress behind!  You will find this 1.6-million-acre forest in southwest Montana and Idaho to be a priceless national heritage.  Half of the forest is dedicated to the largest expanse of continuous pristine wilderness in the lower 48 states - the Selway Bitterroot, Frank Church River of No Return, and the Anaconda Pintler.

The abundance of natural resources offers a wide range of opportunities for recreation, grazing, wildlife, fisheries, timber, and minerals.  Come enjoy the magnificent mountains, the serenity of wilderness, the miracle of spring flowers, majestic big game, and the sounds of birds here in our land of multiple uses.
