Bob Marshall Wilderness, Nature reserve in Western Montana, United States
The Bob Marshall Wilderness encompasses 1,009,356 acres of land stretching 60 miles along the Continental Divide with elevations from 4,000 to 9,000 feet.
The area received protection status in 1940 when several primitive zones merged, and gained official wilderness designation through the Wilderness Act of 1964.
Native American tribes utilized this land for centuries before its designation as a wilderness area, establishing traditional hunting and gathering practices.
The wilderness contains 1,100 miles of marked trails accessible only by foot or horseback, requiring visitors to obtain permits for activities like fishing.
The Chinese Wall formation extends for 22 miles through the wilderness, forming a limestone escarpment that rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding terrain.
