The wilderness covers nearly the entire Trapper Creek drainage and is the only pristine anadromous fish habitat in the Wind River watershed.cite web | title=Wilderness.net: Trapper Creek Wilderness | url=http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=wildView&wname=Trapper%20Creek| accessdate=2007-12-23] The terrain is very steep and rugged and holds many streams and waterfalls - one as tall as convert|100|ft|m|-1|abbr=on. It is one of the few sizeable blocks of low-elevation old-growth forest remaining in southern Washington. There are many relatively popular and well maintained hiking trails in the wilderness area.

Many animals inhabit this wilderness including the Roosevelt race of elk which can often be found near dry creek in the winter and spring while remaining higher up by Observation peak during summer and fall. From the top of Observation peak one can see panaramic views with Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, Mount Jefferson and the Goat Rocks all in view.
