Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
In the Mineral Mountains about seven miles south of Superior, Arizona, White Canyon Wilderness covers 5,790 acres of rugged canyons and saguaro-studded slopes. Congress added it to the National Wilderness Preservation System in 1990. There are no developed trails; hikers enter from dirt roads south of Superior for cross-country travel in Sonoran desert terrain.
Cultural sites and artifacts are protected by federal law (ARPA/NHPA) — stay on established routes, touch and remove nothing, and follow the managing agency's and the affiliated tribe's guidance on access.
