Cedar Roughs Wilderness Area

Cedar Roughs Wilderness Area spans 6,450 acres of federally protected backcountry in California, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This is primitive, non-motorized terrain where hiking and backpacking offer access to remote country on foot. The wilderness supports solitude-seeking visitors willing to navigate without maintained trails or developed infrastructure.

Visitation here means embracing true wilderness conditions. No roads, motors, or mechanized travel are permitted—the defining legal character of the area. Leave No Trace principles are not optional suggestions but the foundation of how the landscape is stewarded. Visitors should come prepared for self-reliant travel and pack out everything they pack in, leaving no trace of their passage.
