Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex

The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex is also well known for being prime grizzly bear habitat, with a population density of species considered to be one of the highest in the lower 48 states outside of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem according to the National Park Service.
