About Little City of Rocks Wilderness Study Area

In Idaho, BLM manages nearly 6,000 acres of public lands in the Little City of Rock Wilderness Study Area. The Mount Bennett Hills are a belt of rolling foothills between the Sawtooth Mountains to the north and the Snake River Plain to the south. Most of the WSA is gently sloping plain with several rhyolite bluffs. Elk, deer, coyote, birds of prey and upland game can be found here.
