About Noisy-Diobsud Wilderness

Noisy-Diobsud Wilderness
 

The Noisy-Diobsud Wilderness, established in 1984, is a remote section of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington State. This 14,000-acre wilderness is characterized by its pristine alpine environments, glacial valleys, and thick forests surrounded by towering peaks, including the towering Noisy Mountain. It supports diverse ecosystems, ranging from dense coniferous forests with species like Douglas fir and western hemlock to subalpine meadows bursting with wildflowers in the spring and summer. It attracts outdoor enthusiasts with its challenging terrain and the chance to encounter rich wildlife like black bears, mountain goats, and a variety of bird species. There are a few maintained trails, offering solitude and escape for experienced backpackers and hikers. Due to its rugged and undeveloped nature, the area is particularly appealing to those seeking a true wilderness experience, away from bustling crowds, where they can explore untouched wild landscapes.
