Cedar Mountain WSA
Community spots & sessions in WY · on LutherHeggs
The Cedar Mountain WSA encompasses 21,560 acres of BLM-administered land with no private or state inholdings. The WSA is an area of rugged topography characterized by deep, steep-sided drainages flowing toward the Bighorn River. Cedar Mountain is the dominant feature of the unit. The size of the WSA and the overall lack of human-made constraints are conducive to unconfined recreation activities. Naturally occurring physical confinements such as the bluffs above Bighorn River, the Cedar Mountain escarpment and the generally rugged terrain do exist, but they enhance the recreation experience by providing challenge and diversity. The area provides opportunities for backpacking, primitive camping, hiking, horseback riding, and trapping and hunting for deer, upland birds, small game and predators. Opportunities for nontechnical rock climbing and repelling are limited mainly to the Cedar Mountain escarpment. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing has occurred in the winter when there is adequate snowfall.
