Mount Naomi Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Cache County, United States.
Mount Naomi Wilderness is a protected wilderness area in the Wasatch-Cache Mountains spanning over 44,000 acres of natural landscape. The terrain ranges from alpine meadows to granite cliffs across elevations between 5,000 and 11,000 feet.
The area was formally designated as a protected wilderness in 1984 by the U.S. Forest Service under the National Wilderness Preservation System. This designation secures the land's natural character and prevents industrial development.
Shoshone and other Native American peoples used these mountains for hunting and gathering for thousands of years. Visitors today can sense this deep connection to the land as they move through the untouched landscape.
The area is accessible via multiple trails, and visitors should prepare for changing weather and steep elevation gains. Overnight stays require a permit, and visitors must follow environmental protection guidelines.
The wilderness contains several peaks above 9,000 feet, with Mount Naomi reaching nearly 10,000 feet. During July and August, the slopes come alive with wildflower displays that add splashes of color to the rocky terrain.
