Over one and one-half centuries have passed since Lewis and Clark crossed the Bitterroot Mountains.
This country was then a vast, challenging wilderness.

Immediately across the river from you, at this point, is the Selway - Bitterroot Wilderness.
Its primitive character is suggestive of much of the land in the days of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Here the challenge and beauty of a wilderness experience awaits you and future generations.
On foot or horseback you have an opportunity to see, as did Lewis and Clark, a fresh, unaltered land.

The one-million acre Selway - Bitterroot Wilderness was classified in 1963 by the Secretary of Agriculture and is administrated by the United States Forest Service.
