{"product_id":"1701273-lolo-nf-rattlesnake-wilderness-2024-us-forest-service-r1-map","title":"Lolo NF - Rattlesnake Wilderness 2024","description":"Established by Congress in 1980, the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Wilderness is located on the Missoula Ranger District, northwest of Missoula and southwest of Seeley Lake, Montana. This area is an iconic recreation destination for those visiting Missoula.\r\n\r\nThe Rattlesnake Mountains, located four miles north of Missoula, Montana, and adjacent to the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area, form a rugged and scenic vista for the Missoula Valley. This Wilderness is characterized by scenic lakes, forested ridges, open cliff-banded slopes, and mountain peaks. Elevations in the Wilderness range from 4,200 feet at the southern boundary to 8,620 feet at McLeod Peak.\r\n\r\nThe National Recreation Area (NRA) lies south and adjacent to the wilderness and receives heavy recreation use, particularly in the South Zone, within about three miles of the main trailhead. It is a popular area for hiking, biking, trail running and horseback riding.\r\n\r\nThis Visitor Map is mapped at a scale of 1:36,000.  This map is a companion map to the Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM).   An MVUM is a legal enforceable document that identifies the roads, trails, and areas where motor vehicle use is allowed in a Forest Service administrative unit or ranger district. MVUMs can be reissued each year.  It is the responsibility of the motor vehicle user to acquire the current MVUM.   The MVUMs display National Forest System (NFS) routes (roads and trails) designated as open to motorized travel.   The MVUMs also display allowed uses by vehicle class (ex. highway-legal vehicles, vehicles 50 inches in width or less and motorcycles); seasonal allowances, off travel distance allowances, and provides information on other travel rules and regulations.  Visitors should not rely on any other maps for making decisions about motorized travel. \r\n\r\nA current printed copy of the Forest MVUM is available FREE from local Forest Service offices, and the current downloadable copy is available FREE from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/main\/lolo\/maps-pubs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/main\/lolo\/maps-pubs\u003c\/a\u003e.\r\n\r\nDigital copies can also be download at U.S. Forest Service R1 Avenza Map Store (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/collections\/us-forest-service-r1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/store.avenza.com\/collections\/us-forest-service-r1\u003c\/a\u003e) Please search via Lolo National Forest MVUM. \r\n\r\nFor more information or to purchase this map in hardcopy, contact one of the offices listed on the back cover of the map or go to visit the U.S. Forest Service Map Finder app and select Northern Region:  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/visit\/maps\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/visit\/maps\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"US Forest Service R1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44810850304156,"sku":"1701273","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7850\/5884\/files\/us-forest-service-r1-lolo-nf-rattlesnake-wilderness-2024-map-1701273-preview-0.jpg?v=1743521254","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/1701273-lolo-nf-rattlesnake-wilderness-2024-us-forest-service-r1-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
