| The Bridge Creek Wilderness is characterized by steep terrain, open meadows, forested slopes, and barren plateaus called scab flats. Bridge Creek flows through the heart of the wilderness. Bridge Creek is for those seeking a true wilderness adventure, for there are no trails maintained in this wilderness. An old trail and a mile of old road are found within its boundaries, but they are not maintained.The wilderness contains excellent elk winter habitat, and is occupied by a few elk year-around. Other large mammals which may be encountered include mule deer, black bear and mountain lion. Pileated woodpeckers, goshawks and prairie falcons are known to nest within the wilderness. |
