Kanab Creek Wilderness
The 70,460-acre Kanab Creek Wilderness in Arizona is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. In 1984, the Kanab Creek Wilderness became part of the now over 109-million-acre National Wilderness Preservation System established by the Wilderness Act of 1964.
In wilderness, you can enjoy challenging recreational activities and extraordinary opportunities for solitude.
When exploring this unique area, please follow all posted regulations and embrace the seven Leave No Trace principles to help preserve its natural beauty and the exceptional recreation experiences it offers. Keep in mind that applying the seven Leave No Trace principles may vary — what works in a desert may differ from what's best in mountainous terrain.
