Devil’s Staircase Proposed Wilderness Area

Imagine a place so rugged and wild that one guide book describes it as a place that only a “handful of mortals have penetrated”. It is also home to an abundance of wildlife, including salmon, black bear, otter and mink. Do you picture Alaska? If so think again. In fact, you don’t have to travel to Alaska to enjoy this type of pristine wildness. One exists in the Lower 48 – in Oregon.
