Bitterroot
National Forest-Leave your stress behind! You will find this
spectacular 1.6 million acre forest in southwest Montana and Idaho to be
a priceless national heritage. Half of the forest is dedicated to the
largest expanse of continuous pristine wilderness in the lower 48 states
-- the Selway Bitterroot, Frank Church River of No Return, and the
Anaconda Pintler. Much of its beauty can be attributed to the heavily
glaciated, rugged peaks of the Bitterroot Range. Drainages carved by
glaciers form steep canyons that open into the valley floor. The
abundance of natural resources offers a wide range of opportunities for
recreation, grazing, wildlife, fisheries, timber, and minerals. Come
enjoy the magnificent mountains, the serenity of wilderness, the miracle
of spring flowers, majestic big game, and the sounds of birds here in
our land of multiple uses.
