Sky Lakes Wilderness, Protected wilderness in Cascade Range, Oregon
The Sky Lakes Wilderness extends across 116,300 acres of volcanic formations, containing more than 200 lakes amid mountain forests and high peaks.
The Oregon Wilderness Act of 1984 established this area as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System within Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.
Native American groups, including ancestors of Klamath and Takelma people, used these lands for hunting and gathering berries through generations.
The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail runs 35 miles through the wilderness, connecting numerous lakes and offering multiple entry points for hikers.
The Waldo Tree at Island Lake bears carved inscriptions from 1888, marking early explorations along what later became the Pacific Crest Trail.
