Friends of the Tumacacori Highlands Charity Profile

The proposed Tumacacori Highlands Wilderness is the largest roadless area on Forest Service lands in Arizona that remains unprotected. The area includes the Pajarito Mountains, Atascosa Mountains, Tumacacori Mountains, and important connecting valleys such as Bear Valley, Bartolo Canyon, Peck Canyon, Apache Pass, and others, and is roughly bounded by the international border and the existing Pajarito Wilderness on the south, Pena Blanca Lake and Wise Mesa on the east, Arivaca Lake on the west, and Red Springs Pass Road (also called the Hunters' Access Road) on the north. The proposed Wilderness is entirely within Arizona Congressional District 7, Hon. Rual Grijalva's district, with the north side bordering Arizona Congressional District 8. The currently proposed wilderness boundaries are subject to change as collaborators and stakeholders adjust the proposal to meet the needs of the public.
