Important visitors' note: The wild and scenic areas presented within these web pages are a wonderful and yet fragile resource. They deserve our utmost efforts to preserve them in their pristine condition for the continued enjoyment of our current generation and for the enjoyment of future generations to come. All of the areas listed below already have use restrictions to one degree or another. Many of them also require wilderness entry permits and some require limited entry permits. I would strongly urge anyone planning to visit these areas to contact the Forest Service office managing the area that you plan to visit to find out more about "Sustainable Recreational Use" and to determine what permit(s) you might need to obtain and how to obtain them before undertaking your visit. A list of Forest Service web sites can be found on the links page of this web site. If you are not sure of which National Forest office you need to contact, I would suggest contacting the Pacific Northwest Regional Office first.   For some information about wilderness permits, including limited entry permits, you can visit the Willamette National Forest Wilderness Permits Page. Keep in mind that other national forests may not have permit systems in place or may have implemented a different type of permit system. The only way to find out for sure is to contact those who manage the area that you plan to visit.   To see some of the wilderness regulations, which are pretty set and work for most any wilderness area, visit the Willamette National Forest Wilderness Regulations Page.   And finally, please don't forget the "Leave No Trace" ethic. With our ever increasing population, and the corresponding increase of recreational use within our limited wilderness areas, the need to tread lightly becomes ever more important. Over the years, the Leave No Trace Guidelines have changed a bit and will probably continue to change from time to time. For the latest "Leave No Trace" information for the Pacific Northwest, and other areas, visit the Leave No Trace web site at http://www.lnt.org and check out their (on-line) publications page which is included in their list of contents. There, you will find a detailed publication dedicated specifically to the Pacific Northwest area.
