Trapper Creek Wilderness
The Trapper Creek Wilderness is a designated wilderness consisting of 5,969 acres (2,416 ha) in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in southern Washington. The wilderness covers nearly the entire Trapper Creek drainage and is the only pristine anadromous fish habitat in the Wind River watershed. The terrain is very steep and rugged and holds many streams and waterfalls—one as tall as 100 ft (30 m). It is one of the few sizeable blocks of low-elevation old-growth forest remaining in southern Washington.
