Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness

Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness is a 176,785-acre federally protected wilderness area managed by the Forest Service in Washington. It offers backcountry hiking and backpacking through primitive terrain where motorized travel and mechanized equipment are prohibited. Visitors should expect solitude and genuine wilderness conditions—this is non-motorized country where Leave No Trace ethics are both a legal requirement and a practical necessity.

Access is foot-travel only. There are no roads or developed facilities within the wilderness boundary. Plan accordingly: bring what you need, pack out what you pack in, and camp responsibly away from water sources and established trails. Weather and snow can close access during winter and early spring months, so timing your visit for late spring through early fall is advisable. Check with the Forest Service before heading out to confirm current conditions and obtain any necessary permits.
