The Bob Marshall Wilderness is Montana's crown jewel, the largest wilderness complex in the lower 48 states. While vehicles can't enter the wilderness itself, the access roads through the surrounding national forest are adventure drives in their own right, climbing through grizzly country to remote trailheads where the modern world simply ends. The legendary Chinese Wall limestone escarpment rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding terrain.
Fun Facts
The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex encompasses over 1.5 million acres, larger than the state of Delaware.
The Chinese Wall is a 1,000-foot limestone escarpment running 22 miles along the Continental Divide.
The area was named after Bob Marshall, a forester and wilderness advocate who could hike 30+ miles a day.
