The Salmon–Huckleberry Wilderness is a protected area on the south side of Mount Hood within the Mount Hood National Forest, encompassing 62,061 acres of steep, heavily forested terrain in Oregon’s northwestern Cascades. Designated by Congress in 1984, it preserves part of the older Western Cascades, whose volcanic origins predate the nearby High Cascades by about 10 million years. Ice, water, and erosion shaped its ridges, U-shaped valleys, cliffs, pinnacles, and volcanic plugs, including Devils Peak and Salmon Butte. Its forests, rivers, and meadows support salmon, trout, steelhead, black-tailed deer, black bears, and rare Alaska cedar, while also drawing hikers, campers, skiers, berry-pickers, and wildlife watchers.
