	Views of the National Parks
		The wilderness areas in the national forest are buffered from external impacts because of their remote locations, and they generally receive much less visitation than the national park wilderness.
		Wilderness areas shelter many plants and animals that have been driven from more developed lands, and these habitats are vital to the survival of many threatened and endangered species.
		Wilderness took it a step further in the preservation ethic in that it preserved an experience, it preserved natural processes, and the need for wilderness – why do we need wilderness – is that in these placed that we protected as national parks they were becoming over-developed.

	Recreation Impacts
		Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics.
		Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service.
		Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had some baseline campsite data, 9 percent had some trail condition data and 24 percent had some data on visitor characteristics.

		Rising above the south edge of the rain forest realm of the lower Quinault Valley is the Colonel Bob Wilderness, a mini-massif of only a few miles in breadth, rising to a very modest elevation of 4492 feet.
		However, being only 25 air miles from tidewater, and rising so abruptly out of the green mists of the valley floor, the slopes are an incredibly efficient moisture trap, with a resulting snowpack that can be massive indeed.
		In the summer it is always a pleasant surprise to be among the alpine wildflowers such as Heather and Partridgefoot and Shooting Stars at this relatively low elevation.

	Colonel Bob Wilderness Area--Washington State, Annie Laurie Gaylor
		"Having been in the Col. Bob Wilderness Area and known about it for 50 years, I was astonished to find out it was named for one of my heroes.
		The 12,120-acre area surrounding Colonel Bob Peak near Lake Quinault was designated a wilderness in the late 1970s or early '80s.
		Colonel Bob was chosen as a fire lookout in 1932 because of its high elevation, although the lookout was abandoned in 1946, was partially destroyed by weathering in 1966, and was burned in 1967 because it was considered a safety hazard.
