Escudilla Wilderness
Located in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona.
Escudilla Wilderness, designated in 1984 and containing 5,200 acres, lies atop Arizona's third highest
peak, Escudilla Mountain. Its 10,912-foot elevation provides marvelous vistas. It is home to several
pristine, high elevation meadows which are comprised of relatively rare plant associations. Notable
landmarks in or just outside the wilderness include Profanity Ridge, Terry Flat, Toolbox Draw, and the
Punchbowl.
A trail takes the visitor to Escudilla Lookout where vistas many miles distant can be absorbed. Because of
the relative scarcity of water and the small size of this wilderness, day use is encouraged.
Information on trail conditions, maps, water, and other matters of interest to visitors are available.
