Mount Naomi Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Cache County, United States.
Mount Naomi Wilderness is a 44,523-acre protected wilderness in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, between the Logan River and the Utah-Idaho state line northeast of Logan. Its wooded, mountainous terrain holds Naomi Peak, the highest point at 9,980 feet near the eastern boundary, while the western side falls into many deep canyons.
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.
Naomi Peak, the wilderness's namesake and highest point at 9,980 feet (3,040 m), stands near the eastern boundary, while the western side falls away into many deep canyons. White Pine Lake can be reached only on foot, unlike Tony Grove Lake. Wildflowers are most abundant in late July and August.
