About the Pine Creek Wilderness Gently sloping from about 2,000 feet elevation in the south to 4,000 feet in the north, Pine Creek and its numerous tributaries drain this Wilderness in a north-south direction. With the exception of the creek itself, home to rainbow trout and bass, most of the streams dry up part of the year. Chaparral and scrub oak entirely dominate the vegetation, with some riparian and oak woodlands emerging from the stream bottoms. You might also encounter small herds of private livestock grazing because their owners were issued permits prior to designation.
Several trails provide access, and receive only light human use.
Groups are limited to 15 people.
