The Brothers Wilderness is located on
the east side of the Olympic National
Forest, north of Lena Lake on the Olympic
Peninsula in the State of Washington.
It was created by the 1984 Wilderness
Act and is 16,682 acres in size. Elevation
ranges from 700 feet to over 6,800 feet.
Western hemlock, Douglas-fir, and western
redcedar dominate the lower slopes. Pacific
silver fir and mountain hemlock cover
the upper slopes giving way to subalpine
fir and mountain meadows and rock outcropings.
The Brothers Wilderness offers opportunities
for backpacking, mountain climbing, hunting
and camping. There are only 16 miles of trail
which access this Wilderness. Visitors should
always carry rain gear and adequate clothing,
food and backpacking equipment. Proper boots
and clothing should be worn.
