Henry M. Jackson Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in King County, United States
The Henry M. Jackson Wilderness spans 103,297 acres of diverse landscapes, featuring steep slopes, finger ridges, and numerous small drainages across Washington State.
Established through the Washington Wilderness Act of 1984, this area carries the name of Senator Henry M. Jackson, who championed wilderness protection.
Native American trails followed the Little Wenatchee River, marking ancient pathways through this territory long before European exploration began.
