Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Montana, United States
The Cabinet Mountains Wilderness spans 94,272 acres across Montana, featuring deep valleys, glaciated peaks, and numerous alpine lakes within the Kootenai National Forest.
Established as a Primitive Area in 1935, this land received federal protection through the National Wilderness Preservation Act of 1964, preserving its natural state.
The Kootenai Indians traditionally used these mountains for hunting mountain goats and gathering high-altitude medicinal plants throughout their seasonal migrations.
Visitors must obtain permits for camping and fishing activities, while regulations prohibit the use of motorized vehicles and mechanical equipment throughout the area.
The Cabinet Mountains contain Blackwell Glacier on Snowshoe Peak's north slope, with water sources ranking among the purest in the lower 48 states.
