Baboquivari Peak Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Baboquivari Mountains, Arizona.
The 2,065-acre wilderness encompasses rocky terrain with elevations ranging from 4,500 feet to 7,730 feet at the mountain summit.
The United States Congress designated this wilderness area in 1990, making it the smallest protected wilderness region in Arizona.
The Tohono O'odham people consider the peak their most sacred location, believing their creator I'itoi resides in a cave beneath the mountain.
Technical climbing equipment and expertise are necessary to reach the summit, as Baboquivari Peak requires class 5 rock climbing skills.
The wilderness contains diverse wildlife including mountain lions, golden eagles, coati, and numerous species of desert plants like oak and walnut trees.
