TopographyThe high-country Salmo-Priest Wilderness is a somewhat wishbone-shaped area atop two Selkirk Range ridges that intersect at {{convert|6828|ft|m|sing=on}} Salmo Mountain. The eastern ridge is somewhat lower, more wooded, more rounded off, and therefore more accessible than the steep-sided, rocky-crested western ridge. Streams have cut deep drainages into both ridges, which flow into Idaho's Priest River on the east and Sullivan Creek and the Salmo River into the Pend Oreille River on the west.[1] The Salmo-Priest Wilderness area is home to the fictional town of Twin Peaks, the setting for the acclaimed ABC television series of the same name that aired in prime time in 1990–92. WildlifeThis rugged area is home to several endangered and threatened species, including woodland caribou, grizzly bears, and gray wolves.[2] The Selkirk Mountains are the last remaining refuge for woodland caribou in the contiguous United States, particularly the Salmo-Priest Wilderness.[3][4] Common wildlife include mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, black bears, cougars, bobcats, badgers, pine martens, lynx, bighorn sheep, and moose.[1] VegetationMuch of the Salmo-Priest Wilderness is made up of Douglas fir and western hemlock. Old growth red cedar is also present in the wilderness.[5] Other protected areasThe Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail traverses the Salmo-Priest Wilderness. Approximately 23 miles of the 1,200 mile PNT lie within the wilderness. The {{convert|29.7|mi|km|adj=on}} Shedroof Divide Trail, designated a National Recreation Trail in 1981, also lies in the wilderness.[6] See also
