Bob Marshall Wilderness
National Wilderness Area · Choteau, Montana
A million and a half acres of roadless country along the Continental Divide south of Glacier, with no roads, no motors and no buildings — the second-largest wilderness in the lower forty-eight and, with the Great Bear and Scapegoat next to it, a single unbroken protected block of well over two million acres. Its landmark is the Chinese Wall, a limestone escarpment running about twelve miles at a thousand feet high. Getting into the middle of it means two days on foot or on a horse. Almost nobody does, which is the point.
Flathead and Lewis and Clark National Forests, Choteau, Montana, 59422, United States
Open year round with no gate, no permit, no quota and no fee — but the practical season is mid-July to mid-September. Snow lingers on the passes into July, unbridged river fords are dangerous until the melt drops, and snow returns in September. Self-registration at trailheads is requested. Group size limits and seasonal campfire restrictions apply. There are no roads, motors or buildings inside the boundary and no mobile signal anywhere in it.
