DEATH RIDGE WILDERNESS STUDY AREA

Values

Centrally located in GSENM, Death Ridge WSA creates a feeling of deep remoteness. Canyons are deep, with ridges long and narrow making this country difficult to navigate. The scenery is quite unique, with ridges offering distant views in all directions. Trap Canyon Slot and the monoliths of Death Ridge are worthy day hikes.
