Galiuro Wilderness




The Galiuro Wilderness lies within the Coronado National Forest.

Located in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, the Coronado National Forest covers 1,780,196 acres, with elevations ranging from 3,000 feet to 10,720 feet. 12 widely-scattered mountain ranges, or "sky islands," rise dramatically from the desert floor, supporting plant communities as biologically diverse as those encountered on a trip from Mexico to Canada. Views are spectacular from these mountains, and you may experience all four seasons during a single day's journey. Spend the morning wandering among giant saguaros and colorful wildflowers, have a picnic lunch under the brilliant golden leaves of a cottonwood tree, and play in the snow in the afternoon. Interpretive trails in and around historic and prehistoric sites allow you to experience the past in the mountains of southeastern Arizona. 8 wilderness areas encompassing 338,536 acres offer you solitude and primitive recreation.
