The Walker Rainforest Wilderness is the largest unprotected wilderness area remaining within the world's only Inland Temperate Rainforest. It is part of the largest Core Area remaining in the Inland Rainforest outside of Parks that sustains 7 Premier Focal Species: Endangered Mountain Caribou, Grizzly Bear, Wolverine, Chinook Salmon, Cougar, Wolf, and Lynx. Additionally, the Walker Rainforest Wilderness is the largest remaining undeveloped watershed cluster in the entire Rocky Mountains where grizzly bears still feed on wild anadromous salmon.
