 Gallatin National Forest
|
With its snow-covered mountain peaks and internationally known “blue ribbon” trout streams, the Gallatin National Forest is a popular recreation area in Montana’s Northern Rockies. Established in 1899, the Gallatin is part of the Greater Yellowstone Area, the largest intact ecosystem in the continental United States. This 1.8-million acre Forest spans six mountain ranges and includes two Congressionally-designated Wilderness areas, the Absaroka-Beartooth and Lee Metcalf Wildernesses. The Gallatin National Forest provides habitat for a full complement of native fauna, including four federally listed threatened species – the grizzly bear, gray wolf, bald eagle, and the Canada lynx. Come and explore this marvelous treasure and discover, for yourself with America Outdoors outfitters, all that it has to offer. Some of the activities America Outdoors outfitters offer are: FISHING/FLY FISHING The 1.8 million acre Gallatin National Forest offers over 1740 miles of fishable streams and rivers. It is also home to over 700 high mountain lakes and reservoirs. This vast diversity of aquatic habitats allows for an incredible array of recreational fishing opportunities. Whether you would like to fly-fish a remote backcountry stream or lake or ice-fish a reservoir that is accessible by vehicle, the Gallatin offers many different angling experiences. The headwaters of three of the most famous "Blue Ribbon" trout streams in southwest Montana; the Gallatin, Madison, and Yellowstone Rivers originate on the Gallatin National Forest.
HIKING WILDERNESS TREKS - Lee Metcalf and the Absaroka-Beartooth. Together these two areas preserve nearly 1.2 million acres of the American west.
- The ABSAROKA-BEARTOOTH WILDERNESS is an enormous and rugged expanse of high-elevation country, sprawling across the eastern side of the Gallatin NF, as well as portions of the Shoshone and Custer National Forests. Speckled with a myriad of pristine lakes, the delicate tundra of the Beartooth plateau is broken by bold and jagged peaks. Further west, the Absaroka Range is equally wild and rugged, yet with a different nature. Thick forests, high mountain meadows, and streams lie below the open ridges along the backbone of this range.
To the west is the LEE METCALF WILDERNESS, divided into four separate units in the Madison Range. The Gallatin and Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forests, as well as the Bureau of Land Management, share landownership. Wild canyon country along the Madison River, forest and meadow areas filled with wildlife, razor-like ridges leading to glacially carved peaks, and alpine lakes and meadows are all found in these diverse wilderness segments.
