The Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness is 33,000-acres
in size and was created by the 1984 Oregon
Wilderness Act. It, like Mt. Thielsen Wilderness,
lies within the Oregon Cascade Recreation
Area, also created by Congress in 1984. It
is located west of Highway 230 and southwest
of Diamond Lake.
High forested mountains and ridges separating
the Rogue and Umpqua River drainages characterize
this Wilderness. Elevations range from
3,200 feet to 6,800 feet. Abundant flora
and fauna as well as geological outcroppings
can be found throughout this wilderness.
Devils Slide and Hole-in-the-Ground are
the most interesting of the geological
features.
