About

Draping the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada east of Sonora, Stanislaus National Forest covers 898,000 acres of conifer forests, alpine meadows, and volcanic landscapes that transition from oak-studded foothills to the high Sierra crest above 11,000 feet. The Emigrant Wilderness, the forest's premier backcountry destination at 112,000 acres, features over 100 alpine lakes, extensive granite terrain, and volcanic peaks connected by a network of trails popular with backpackers and equestrians. The Carson-Iceberg Wilderness protects dramatic volcanic formations and the headwaters of the Carson River along the Sierra crest, while the Mokelumne Wilderness straddles the forest's northern boundary. The Columns of the Giants, a remarkable formation of columnar basalt similar to Devil's Postpile, provides an easy interpretive trail through this geological wonder, and Pinecrest Lake serves as one of the most popular family camping and fishing destinations in the central Sierra. World-class Class IV-V whitewater on the Tuolumne River draws expert kayakers and rafters to the Cherry Creek and main Tuolumne runs, while the Sonora Pass section of Highway 108 offers one of the most scenic and challenging mountain drives in the Sierra. The forest supports important timber production alongside recreation and wildlife habitat, including populations of black bear, mule deer, and Pacific fisher in its mixed conifer and red fir forests.
