Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex

This wilderness preserve is home to 17,000 miles of trails, which are traversed by all sorts of adventurers, from day hikers and backpackers to horseback riders and cross country skiers. The complex consists of three wilderness areas: the Great Bear, the Bob Marshall so named for Robert Bob Marshall, the forester, conservationist, writer, wilderness activist and one of the founders of the Wilderness Society and the Scapegoat. Explorers will find themselves surrounded by rugged peaks, alpine lakes, grassy meadows, lush forests and cascading waterfalls. One of the highlights of the area is the Chinese Wall, a 22 mile long limestone escarpment that averages 1,000 feet and is part of the Great Divide. The preserve has the highest population density of grizzly bear in all of the United States outside of Alaska.
