The United States is a massive country containing vast plots of desert, mountains, forest, marshland, and more. But there aren’t a ton of wild places anymore, with even the most remote sites visited by logging operations, hunting operations, or some other industry.
Alaska has plenty of near-untouched regions, but the land is much more built up everywhere else in the country. If you want to get out there and see an area hardly touched by modern humans, you really need to work for it. YouTuber Topo Traveler took a look at the most remote locations in the lower 48, the places where humans hardly touch.
Topo Traveler’s list is as follows:
10. The Maze, Utah (Canyonlands National Park)
9. The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, Montana
8. Owyhee Canyonlands, Oregon, Idaho, & Nevada
7. Boundary Waters, Minnesota
