Travel on foot or horseback in this million-acre expanse of craggy peaks above high plateaus dotted with glacial lakes. Consider hiring a guide in this wilderness.

Motors and bicycles are banned from this million-acre expanse of treeless plateaus and dense forests sheltering black and grizzly bears. If you do go into these woods today, consider hiring a guide. Outfitters licensed by the National Forest Service carry liability insurance and know their way around the forest trails, high meadows and ridgelines.
