Bennett Mountain WSA

Values

The Bennett Mountain WSA is located in the eastern portion of the Seminoe Mountains.  The WSA consists of three major landforms:  a mountain plateau, steep ridges with rocky outcrops, and draws. The elevation ranges from approximately 6,600 to 8,000 feet.  The mountain’s distinct ridges with rocky outcrops have a fortress-like appearance along the entire southern exposure.  The northern portion is incised with numerous tree-filled draws.  Vegetation is primarily grasses, sagebrush, and other shrubs, with pockets of pine, aspen and willows. The combinations of rugged and diverse terrain provide opportunities for a high degree of solitude. The WSA provides high quality opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreational activities including hunting, hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, and sightseeing.  Rising abruptly from the surrounding lowlands, spectacular views can be had from the mountain top.
