West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Southeast Alaska, United States.
The West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness encompasses 265,286 acres of mountains, deep fjords, and old-growth Sitka spruce forests along the Pacific Coast.
The wilderness designation in 1980 resulted from a proposal by local teachers through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
The Tlingit Indians established settlements throughout the region, using its natural resources for fishing, hunting, and gathering activities.
Access to the wilderness requires transportation by boat or floatplane, as no roads reach the area, and visitors must obtain permits for overnight stays.
The wilderness contains four Forest Service rental cabins where visitors can stay while watching sea otters, seals, and brown bears in their natural habitat.
