This program really made a difference here and even though our wilderness areas are not as big or spectacular as those out west there are some that are still very much worthy of the designation.

I go to Hercules Glades a lot because it's so close but there are others nearby that are more scenic. The Leatherwood is probably my favorite here. It's one of the most rugged and I love exploring the waterfalls, cliffs, and caves there. All of the wilderness areas near the Buffalo River are great though, and well worth exploring.
