The 'Fitzpatrick Wilderness' is located in
Shoshone National Forest in the
U.S. state of
Wyoming. The wilderness was originally known as the Glacier Primitive Area, but was redesignated a wilderness in 1976.
U.S. Wilderness Areas do not allow
motorized or
mechanized vehicles, including
bicycles. Although
camping and
fishing are allowed with proper permit, no roads or buildings are constructed and there is also no
logging or
mining, in compliance with the 1964
Wilderness Act. Wilderness areas within
National Forests and
Bureau of Land Management areas also allow
hunting in season.
