Summary
| Description |
English: The Sleeping Giant Wilderness Study Area formation is a well-known landmark, visible from Helena. The wilderness study area is comprised of about 11,000 acres (4,500 ha) of steep, irregular topography with elevations ranging from 3,600 feet (1,100 m) to 6,800 feet (2,100 m). About half the area is forested. Twenty drainages dissect the area and provide solitude. Seven miles of ridgeline hiking routes offer spectacular panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. A diversity of important wildlife species live here, including a thriving population of mountain goats that occupies the high outcroppings. Other common species include elk, black bear, bighorn sheep, mule deer, osprey, and golden eagles. About 40 primitive campsites are available along the Holter Lake shoreline. A portion of the Sleeping Giant area is also part of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Several deteriorating structures near the river evoke the lifestyles of early settlers.
Popular recreation activities include Hiking, sightseeing, wildlife viewing, primitive camping, fishing. Learn more: www.blm.gov/mt/st/en/fo/butte_field_office/recreation/sle... Photo: Bob Wick, BLM California |
