Overview

Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness is one of Blaine County’s largest rural regions. It is centred on Mount Chiliad, but the zone is not simply the mountain itself. Its wider landscape includes mountain trails, forested slopes, remote roads, the Mount Chiliad Tunnel and the Raton Canyon area. The Altruist Camp lies inside the wilderness, while Mount Chiliad’s summit facilities and the communities around Paleto Bay, Paleto Forest and Braddock Pass form neighbouring or associated areas rather than one interchangeable location.

The region is deliberately sparsely developed. There are no ordinary shopping streets, garages or large settlements inside the wilderness. Instead, it is used for hunting, wildlife encounters, off-road driving, parachuting, random events, cult-related encounters and some of the game’s most memorable exploration secrets. Its isolation also makes it dangerous: mountain lions can attack suddenly, roads are rough, and several paths are difficult to follow without a suitable vehicle.

Rockstar’s in-game tourism material describes the wilderness as a place where people disappear more often than anywhere else in San Andreas. That description is reflected in the area’s combination of wildlife, cult activity, isolated cabins, hidden roads and mission locations.
