Mount Trumbull Wilderness Area

The Mount Trumbull Wilderness Area offers a truly remote escape for those looking to experience the raw beauty of the Arizona high desert. Situated within the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, this expansive 7,880-acre area is defined by its massive basalt-capped mesa and the stunning landscapes of the Uinkaret Plateau. The terrain is characterized by rolling slopes covered in pinyon pine and juniper trees, providing a classic Southwest wilderness backdrop that feels worlds away from civilization.

This is a primitive camping destination managed by the BLM, making it ideal for self-sufficient adventurers, tent campers, and those equipped for dispersed RV camping. Facilities are minimal to preserve the natural integrity of the wilderness, with only vault toilets provided for visitor use. There are no hookups available, so visitors should arrive prepared to be fully self-reliant during their stay.

Because of its remote location and lack of developed amenities, this site is best suited for experienced campers who enjoy solitude and rugged outdoor exploration. Whether you are looking to hike the quiet trails or simply enjoy a night under some of the darkest skies in the country, Mount Trumbull provides an authentic, off-the-grid experience year-round.
