Black Canyon Wilderness

Black Canyon Wilderness protects 13,700 acres of rugged desert terrain along the Gila River in Arizona. This is raw Sonoran Desert—steep volcanic cliffs, hidden canyons, and saguaro-studded slopes that most people drive right past. No facilities, no fanfare, just wilderness doing what it does best. It’s habitat for bighorn sheep and golden eagles, and a reminder that not all canyons need to be grand to matter. Rep a wilderness that earns its name the hard way.
