Carson-Iceberg Wilderness

The 160,000-acre Carson-Iceberg Wilderness straddles the crest of the central Sierra Nevada range, located in both the Stanislaus and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forests. This area lies within portions of Tuolumne and Alpine counties, bordered on the south by Highway 108 and on the north by Highway 4. The name is derived from two geographic features: the Carson River (named for scout and explorer Kit Carson) and the distinctive granite formation known as the "Iceberg", situated on the southern boundary of the Wilderness at the end of Clark Fork Road. Watersheds drain to the Stanislaus and Carson Rivers.
