Woodchute Wilderness

Located in the Prescott National Forest in Arizona.

This small wilderness offers relatively easy access and spectacular views of the san Francisco Peaks and panoramic vistas of central Arizona. Created in 1984, the 5,700 acres that comprise the Woodchute Wilderness range in elevation from 5,500 feet to 7,800 feet. Ponderosa pine is the dominate overstory species located at the upper elevations, which gradually changes to pinion pine and Utah juniper at the lower and relatively drier elevations.

There are maintained wilderness trails and public access points currently in existence. It is recommended that topographic maps be studied prior to a visit.
