Blackfoot Clearwater Act

Corey Ellis writes, "The bill designates nearly 80,000 acres of wilderness, protects the headwaters of the Blackfoot and Clearwater Rivers, some of the world's most iconic trout streams, and ensures that some premier big game country remains wild."

The act would add about 78,000 acres of wilderness to the Bob Marshall, Scapegoat and Mission Mountains wilderness areas and create two recreation management areas for snowmobiling and mountain biking.
