Marble Mountain Wilderness
Marble Mountain Wilderness, Nature reserve in Klamath National Forest, California, US
The Marble Mountain Wilderness spans 241,744 acres of diverse terrain with granite ridges, deep canyons, and perennial mountain streams throughout Siskiyou County.
The United States Forest Service established the area as Marble Mountain Primitive Area in 1931, before its designation as wilderness under the 1964 Wilderness Act.
The region features numerous caves with stalactites and flowstone formations, including Bigfoot Cave, which ranks among the deepest in the continental United States.
Visitors can access 89 lakes, two Wild and Scenic river systems, and 32 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail for activities such as fishing and backpacking.
The landscape displays five distinct rock types, combining light limestone with black metamorphic rock to create a marbled appearance on mountain peaks.
