Sacatar Trail Wilderness is a designated wilderness area in California, managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
Sacatar Trail Wilderness, like Owens Peak Wilderness, includes the rugged, eastern face of the Sierra Nevada. Topography ranges from valleys, canyons, and alluvial fans to steep hills that lead into granite peaks and ridgetops reaching elevations of more than 7,800 feet. Several of the canyons are complemented by springs, which support the riparian habitats of cottonwoods, willows, and grasses. Wildlife within the area, including mule deer, golden eagles, prairie falcons, quails, and doves, can frequently be seen from hiking and horseback-riding trails. The Sacatar Trail, an old wagon road that is part of the scarce evidence of humans in this area, provides backcountry access into this wilderness.
