Darwin Falls Wilderness Area

Darwin Falls Wilderness Area is an 8,842-acre federally designated Wilderness in California, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This is true backcountry—no roads, motors, or mechanized travel are permitted. Visitors come here for hiking and backpacking in a primitive setting where solitude and self-reliance are the defining experience.

As a Wilderness Area, the place operates under strict non-motorized rules. You'll travel on foot, camp with minimal impact, and pack out everything you pack in. Leave No Trace principles are not optional—they're the law. There are no maintained facilities, and the landscape remains wild and undeveloped by design.
