Ten Lakes Wilderness Study Area

The Ten Lakes Wilderness Study Area in the Kootenai National Forest is cherished backcountry, spanning nearly 15 thousand acres alongside the Canadian border near Eureka. The hike from Little Therriault Lake through Bluebird and Poorman Basins is one of the more interesting  routes in the area. Stride alongside several beautiful lakes, meander through meadows filled with wildflowers, and take a side trip to the summit of Poorman Peak for sweeping vistas. Then circle Wolverine Lakes, dip your toes in the cool mountain water, and check out the Historic Wolverine Cabin.
