The remarkable story of Oregon's most popular wilderness
Straddling the Cascade mountain range, the magnificent Three Sisters Wilderness beckons adventurers from around the world. One of the original 54 of the more than 800 such areas designated by Congress, it is Oregon's second-largest, most visited and accessible wilderness. Its preservation under the Wilderness Act of 1964 was a community-led effort to keep the dramatic vistas and diverse ecosystems available for all to enjoy.
Join author Les Joslin as he explores the origins of the wilderness concept, the natural and cultural history of the Three Sisters country, and the stewardship that preserves what is termed an enduring resource of wilderness.
