Bear Wallow Wilderness
Bear Wallow Wilderness
Located in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona.
This newly established 11,080-acre wilderness in eastern Arizona boasts some of the largest acreage of virgin ponderosa pine in the Southwest. Only a few trails provide access into and within this area, and only limited grazing of domestic livestock in the west half has kept this area unspoiled.
Beautiful Bear Wallow Creek flows throughout the year, providing suitable habitat for the endangered Apache trout. Wildlife is abundant throughout the area. A majestic view from atop Mogollon Rim is available to the hiker from the Rim Trail on the southern boundary of the wilderness.
