Woodchute Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Prescott National Forest, Arizona.
The Woodchute Wilderness extends across 5,923 acres of mountainous terrain, with elevations ranging from 5,500 to 7,800 feet above sea level.
Established in 1984 through the Arizona Wilderness Act, this area received its name from a wooden chute used to transport timber to Jerome.
The wilderness designation ensures preservation of natural landscapes where visitors experience outdoor activities without mechanical or motorized interference.
Two maintained trails totaling 8 miles cross through the protected area, including the main Woodchute Trail 102 and Rick Tank Cutoff Trail 104.
The wilderness supports populations of American black bears, elk, cougars, mule deer, whitetail deer, bald eagles, and golden eagles throughout its varied terrain.
