Wild Sky Wilderness is Washington's first wilderness area in more than 20 years. The 106,000 federally protected acres are near the town of Index, only 48 miles from Redmond, an hour away!

THANK YOU, REDMOND TEACHER MIKE TOWN, FOR 9 YEARS OF TIRELESS EFFORT AND LEADERSHIP IN MAKING WILD SKY WILDERNESS A REALITY. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
