The Brothers Wilderness

The Brothers Wilderness extends across 16,682 acres of mountain terrain, featuring dense forests of western hemlock and Douglas fir reaching elevations of 5,000 feet.

The United States Congress established The Brothers Wilderness in 1984 as part of five wilderness areas within Olympic National Forest, preserving its natural character.

Local outdoor enthusiasts regularly venture into The Brothers Wilderness for hiking, mountain climbing, backpacking, hunting, and fishing throughout the varied landscapes.

Multiple access points include the three-mile Brothers Trail and the eight-mile Mount Jupiter Trail 809, which leads visitors to Jupiter Lakes.

The wilderness receives approximately 80 inches of annual precipitation due to its position in the Olympic Mountains rain shadow, creating specific ecological conditions.
