 In 1964, the Congress of the United States took a far-sighted
action by passing the Wilderness Act, legally designating
certain federal lands as Wilderness. Congress preserved these
lands to assure that an increasing population, accompanied
by expanding settlement and growing mechanization does not
occupy and modify all areas within the United States and its
possessions, leaving no lands designated for preservation
and protection in their natural condition. The Wilderness Act prohibits roads, mining, timber cutting,
and motorized vehicles in these areas.
