Wildland Spotlight : High Lakes WSA


The 14,700 acre High Lakes Wilderness Study Area was designated in 1984 by the Wyoming Wilderness Act. Located off of the stunning Beartooth Highway that climbs to 10,947 ft in elevation, the High Lakes area provides a uniquely accessible high alpine wilderness experience for the average hiker or backpacker in summer. In winter, outdoor enthusiasts flock to the area for destination snowmobiling and backcountry skiing opportunities. The Shoshone's upcoming Travel Management Plan is an overdue opportunity for land managers to manage user conflict and safety while mitigating the impacts of vastly increased snowmobile use nearly forty years after the directives of the Wyoming Wilderness Act.



Nearly 40 years ago the Wyoming Wilderness Act directed the United States Forest Service to administer the area to “maintain [its] presently existing wilderness character and potential for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System[.]” (Pub. L. 98-550 § 301(c)) and that “snowmobiling shall continue to be allowed in the same manner and degree as was occurring prior to the date of the enactment of this Act” (Id. § 301(c)(4)).
