Redfield Canyon Wilderness | Arizona

The 6,600-acre Redfield Canyon Wilderness is in southeastern Arizona and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. In 1990, the Redfield Canyon Wilderness became part of the National Wilderness Preservation System established by the Wilderness Act of 1964. In wilderness, you can enjoy challenging recreational activities and extraordinary opportunities for solitude.

Tall cliffs pocked with eroded caves and strewn with boulders, Redfield Canyon offers the visitor a variety of recreational opportunities. Redfield Canyon is a narrow, red-walled chasm great for hiking during the spring and fall seasons.

Please follow the regulations in place for this area, and use Leave No Trace techniques when visiting to ensure protection of its unique natural and experiential qualities.
