The Bob Marshall wilderness complex


So one of the first off the main trail places that not many know of is the Bob Marshall wilderness complex. It is made up of 3 different wilderness areas in one complex. To the south is the scape goat wilderness. Then the Bob Marshall and the northern one is the great bear . This is prime untouched wilderness land and is closed to all mechanized transportation. Walk in or on horse only pack it in pack it out this goes for EVERYTHING. Though it is very remote and isolated forest rangers do patrol. Access to this great part of Montana is available see this list DIRECTIONS
The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex is accessible from numerous surrounding communities. From the west side it can be reached from Seeley Lake, Swan Lake, Hungry Horse, Kalispell, Ovando and Lincoln, Montana. From the east side it is reached from Choteau, Augusta, Dupuyer, Bynum and Browning.http://www.visitmt.com/categories/moreinfo.asp?IDRRecordID=730&siteid=1

I hope to be able to take horses into the Bob Marshall some day or at least hike into part of it. I was wondering is Morrel Falls east of Seeley lake, is near the Bob? I've been there a few times and hiked into the lower falls.
