| Description |
English: The Sweetwater Canyon WSA encompasses 9,056 acres (3,665 ha) of BLM-administered land without any split estate or private inholdings. The WSA lies along the southeastern flank of the Wind River Range in the high plains desert. The 5,538 acres (2,241 ha) recommended for wilderness include the core area of the Sweetwater River Canyon, which is roughly 7 miles (11 km) long and averages 500 feet (150 m) deep.
The inaccessibility of the Sweetwater River means that outstanding opportunities for solitude exist in the dramatic canyon. Rainbow, brown and brook trout inhabit the river and its tributaries, and moose, elk, mule deer and antelope may be found in the area, depending on the time of year. Golden eagles, prairie falcons and ferruginous and red-tailed hawks dot the skies. The river canyon offers opportunities for hiking, backpacking, fishing, hunting, nature study and photography. Of the 9,056-acre (3,665 ha) WSA, 538 acres (218 ha) have been recommended for wilderness designation in the 1992 report to Congress. Photo: Bob Wick, BLM |
