Eagletail Mountains Wilderness, Protected wilderness area near Phoenix, Arizona.
The Eagletail Mountains extend across 97,880 acres of desert landscape, featuring granite peaks that rise from 1,100 feet to elevations of 3,300 feet.
The Bureau of Land Management designated this area as protected wilderness in 1990, following conservation guidelines established by the Wilderness Act of 1964.

Visitors require high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles to access the wilderness area, and must bring sufficient water supplies as no reliable sources exist within the boundaries.
Courthouse Rock, a granite monolith, stands over 1,000 feet above the desert floor, accompanied by natural arches and high spires throughout the wilderness.
