The Whiskey Mountain WSA encompasses 487 acres of BLM-administered land. The
area is on the north-facing slope of Whiskey Mountain in the Wind River
Mountains. These lands became a study area because of their proximity to the
Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area.

The terrain is rough and mountainous with scattered limber pine and Douglas
fir.

The largest concentration of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep in the United States
inhabits the area and surrounding environs.

The WSA makes a contiguous extension of the Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area, which
has outstanding opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation. The
larger Whiskey Mountain area, including the WSA, is an exceptional hunting,
viewing, and wintering area for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.

The Dubois Badlands WSA encompasses 4,520 acres of BLM-administered land with
no split estate or private inholdings. The topography of the area is primarily
badlands and flat topped benches, which are extensively eroded and separated
by numerous and intricate drainage patterns. Bands of red and tan sedimentary
rock and clays make interesting color patters through the area.  
Opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation in the Dubois Badlands
WSA are limited and lack outstanding characteristics. Day hiking would be
possible, but the WSA's size and lack of water limits its attraction for
extended backpacking. While some primitive recreation activities are clearly
possible in the WSA, the limited number and scope of such activities result in
less than outstanding opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation.  
The Dubois Badlands WSA contains several special features. The area's
relatively unique geology and its scenery are major attractions.
