Description

The Argus Range Wilderness now contains a total of 74,890 acres and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. All of the wilderness is in the state of California.

Public land becomes wilderness through legislation passed by the United States Congress in the form of public laws. For the Argus Range Wilderness, this process began in 1994 when 74,890 acres were designated by Public Law 103-433.

The Argus Range Wilderness is part of the 106 million acre National Wilderness Preservation System. This System of wild lands contributes significantly to the ecological, economic, and social health of our country. Wilderness provides clean air and water, a shelter for endangered species, sacred places for indigenous peoples, a living laboratory for research, and a classroom for exploring personal values while experiencing risk, reward, and self-reliance. In wilderness, you can enjoy challenging recreational activities like hiking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, horse packing, bird watching, stargazing, and extraordinary opportunities for solitude.
