Bull of the Woods Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon.
The Bull of the Woods Wilderness spans 37,607 acres of forested land with numerous lakes, streams, and steep mountain slopes reaching 5,558 feet elevation.
The United States Congress designated this territory as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System in 1984, protecting its natural resources for future generations.
Former mining sites from the 19th century gold rush remain within the wilderness, including abandoned equipment that tells stories of early industrial activities.
Seven access trails and seven internal paths create a network of 75 miles for hiking and horseback riding through old-growth forests and mountain ridges.
The name originates from logging terminology, where the 'bull of the woods' designated the most experienced logging foreman leading forest operations.
