I've got my work cut out for me now! Awesome job! I don't know how I remembered this - but didn't see Lake Clark (Alaska) on the list. It's a National Park but has signficant wilderness backcountry. Maybe it's there and I just missed it?

There's also Big Bend National Park in Texas. I know it has some major backcountry because I spent 10 days, semi-lost, wandering through mazes of rock and cacti...

I'm in awe of your patience and focus to get this done.

Thanks! Big Bend as of now does not have designated wilderness, and Lake Clark's is under a different name. So cool to visit Big bend
