Galiuro Wilderness, Wilderness area in southern Arizona, United States.
Galiuro Wilderness spans 76,317 acres across the Galiuro Mountains, featuring steep cliffs, colored rocks, and elevations reaching 7,671 feet at Bassett Peak.
The region transformed from a Galiuro Primitive Area in 1932 to an official wilderness through the Wilderness Act of 1964, preserving its natural state.
The Power family settlement of 1909 and subsequent 1918 confrontation with law enforcement over draft evasion shaped the territorial identity of this land.
Visitors require navigation tools and accurate maps as the trails within the wilderness remain minimally maintained and lack clear markers throughout the terrain.
A World War II B-24 bomber crash site near Bassett Peak contains a memorial plaque commemorating eleven crew members who perished in January 1943.
