TheHoover Wilderness is awilderness area in theInyo andHumboldt-Toiyabe National Forests. It lies to the east of the crest of the centralSierra Nevada inCalifornia, to the north and east ofYosemite National Park - a long strip stretching nearly to Sonora Pass on the north andTioga Pass on the south.

The headwaters of theEast Walker River begin in the Hoover Wilderness. It comprises 48,601 acres (197 km2). Many trails lead into it from the east, from Walker Meadow (off theSonora Pass road), Buckeye Creek, Green Lakes,Virginia Lakes, Lundy Lake, and Saddlebag Lake (off the Tioga Pass road).

The Hoover Wilderness was originally designated as aPrimitive Area by the Forest Service in 1931. It was named in honor of PresidentHerbert Hoover. In 1956, it was designated as a Wild Area and became a Wilderness Area when the 1964Wilderness Act was passed.[1] It was significantly expanded to its present size in 2009.

The Hoover Wilderness was the setting ofCamping Adventure, a children's book published in 1976 by theNational Geographic Society as part of its "Books for Young Explorers" series.
