Wilderness
Wilderness areas, like the three available to explore on the Sawtooth National Forest, are protected by the Wilderness Act of 1964. These areas are special places where nature still calls the shots. Places where people with an appetite for adventure can find a sense of true self-reliance and experience solitude. They are refuges for a long list of rare, threatened, and endangered species, forced to the edges by modern development. They are the headwaters of critical, life-infusing rivers and streams. They are places where law mandates above all else that wildness be retained for future generations.
