Redfield Canyon (West) Wilderness Area

Redfield Canyon (West) Wilderness Area is a 7,595-acre federally protected Wilderness in Arizona managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This is primitive backcountry where motors, mechanized travel, and roads are prohibited—a landscape reserved for foot traffic and nonmotorized recreation in their truest forms.

The area offers hiking and backpacking opportunities for those seeking solitude and a genuine wilderness experience. Visitors should expect authentic backcountry conditions: no developed trails, no facilities, and the self-reliance required of remote desert travel. Access typically involves a long approach on foot from the nearest trailheads outside the Wilderness boundary.

Wilderness rules are strict and enforced. Leave No Trace principles are not optional—they are the legal and ethical foundation of visiting a federally designated Wilderness. Camp below timberline where possible, pack out all waste, use established fire rings only if fires are permitted, and travel quietly to preserve the solitude others come to find. Water sources are sparse in desert terrain; plan accordingly and carry sufficient capacity.
