| The 40,000-acre Wabayuma Peak Wilderness is located in Mohave County, 20 miles southeast of Kingman. The 7,601-foot Wabayuma Peak dominates this wilderness. A series of ridges that extend from the peak in a semicircle to the north, south, and west, plunge nearly 5,000 feet to the desert floor below. This extensive elevation change accommodates a broad spectrum of ecosystems. The sheer size and scale of the rugged terrain guarantee a variety of hikes, backpacking trips, horseback rides and nature study, and encourage extended overnight camping. Visitors can travel through desert shrub and ponderosa pine in one day and are afforded the opportunity for botanical and wildlife sightseeing within a relatively small geographic area. |
