Cabeza Prieta Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in southwestern Arizona, United States
The Cabeza Prieta Wilderness spans 803,418 acres of Sonoran Desert terrain, with elevations ranging from 700 to 2,800 feet above sea level.
The El Camino del Diablo, a historic trail connecting Sonora to California since 1540, crosses through the southern section of the wilderness area.
The land represents a significant portion of the Sonoran Desert Biosphere Reserve, containing pure desert ecosystems supporting over 350 bird species.
Visitors must obtain both a Barry M. Goldwater Range Access permit and refuge permits before entering, and no vehicle travel is allowed off designated roads.
The area serves as a protected habitat for endangered Sonoran pronghorns and contains potential unexploded military ordnance from training exercises.
