> one can argue that the designation itself leads to a place losing its "wildness"... There are always more people on the hiking trails and in the campgrounds in places designated "wilderness" on maps than places not so described. These days the best places don't have a lot of publicity, manicured trails, designated camping areas, forest rangers, or puff pieces in glossy magazines. No, I'm not going to share, sorry. Use your imagination and buy some old-fashioned topo maps. (Your phone won't work there, so Google won't be of any use.)
