Warm Springs Wilderness, Desert wilderness area in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.
Warm Springs Wilderness is a protected area in the Mojave Desert featuring rock formations and open expanses. The terrain includes several springs nestled in canyons and depressions that shape the overall character of this rugged landscape.
The area was officially designated as protected land in 1990 through federal legislation. This action recognized the ecological and cultural value of the desert landscape for future generations.
The springs scattered throughout the area shaped how Native American tribes moved through and settled in this desert landscape. Today visitors can observe signs of these historical water sources when exploring the terrain.
The area is challenging to access and requires sturdy vehicles or extended hikes to explore. Visitors should prepare for hot, dry weather and bring plenty of water.
After rains, natural water pockets form in rock depressions and fill temporarily. These rare water sources draw wildlife and fuel a brief burst of desert wildflowers.
