Wild Sky Wilderness, Nature reserve in King County, United States
The Wild Sky Wilderness extends across 106,577 acres of western Cascade Range terrain, featuring deep valleys, mountain peaks, and dense forests.
The United States Congress designated Wild Sky Wilderness through the Consolidated Natural Resources Act, signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2008.
Native American communities inhabited this mountainous region for centuries before European settlement, utilizing its natural resources and establishing travel routes.
Visitors need topographic maps and wilderness permits for activities like hiking, camping, and fishing within the designated boundaries of Wild Sky Wilderness.
The wilderness protects low-elevation forests at 600 feet above sea level, rising dramatically to Gunn Peak at 6,244 feet within three miles.
