A U.S. wilderness area prohibits road-building and other forms of development. Are bridges on hiking trail permitted, or are all river crossings in wilderness areas necessarily unbridged?
1 Answer
Yes, there are bridges in wilderness areas, this one was in the Wind River Range for example.
On there other hand, there are restrictions on the tools used in a wilderness area such as not allowing power tools such as chainsaws.
