The 2.5-mile one-way Wabayuma Peak Trail leads to the summit.

The first two miles of Wabayuma Peak Trail follow an old jeep road into the
Wabayuma Peak Wilderness. At about the two-mile mark, you will find yourself
in a saddle and a wire fence will be on your left. Look for the narrow path
heading up the slope.

Near the top of the ridge, the trail becomes faint. Blaze marks on large
ponderosa pine will guide you to the top. The trail ends in a saddle a half
mile south of the summit. Proceed cross-country to reach the peak.

The summit offers spectacular views of the Black Mountains to the west, the
Aquarius Mountains to the east, and of the Hualapai Mountains to the north and
south.  
  
Wabayuma Peak Trail is a strenuous hike and can be difficult for equestrians
due to steep nature of the trail and the presence of overhanging vegetation.

## Hours and Seasons

The trail is open all year. Weather conditions are most comfortable in late
spring through fall.

Snow along Wabayuma Peak Trail

Wabayuma Peak Trail

The 40,000-acre Wabayuma Peak Wilderness is located in Mohave County, 20 miles
southeast of Kingman, Arizona.  
  
This wilderness is dominated by the 7,601-foot **Wabayuma Peak**. A series of
massive 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 lower
reaches of the wilderness contain a mixture of Sonoran and Mohave Desert
vegetation. Upper elevations are covered with Arizona chaparral vegetation,
and ponderosa pine forests can be found on the mountain summits.  
  
The sheer size and scale of the rugged terrain guarantee a variety of
challenging and interesting 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 exceptional botanical and wildlife sightseeing within a
relatively small geographic area.

### Know Before You Go

  * No legal access is possible to the north and northwest sides of the wilderness because access roads cross private property at several points.
  * A high-clearance four-wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended for all access routes.
  * Water is generally available at springs indicated on topographic maps. Always purify any water found prior to use.
  * Summertime temperatures, even at the higher elevations, can be dangerous if you are not prepared. More moderate conditions are present between October and May, although snow can be present during winter months, which can make access to higher elevations difficult or impossible.
  * Please follow the regulations in place for this area, and use Leave No Trace techniques when visiting to ensure protection of its unique natural and experiential qualities.
  * Motorized equipment and equipment used for mechanical transport are generally prohibited on all federal lands designated as wilderness. This includes the use of motor vehicles (including OHVs), motorboats, bicycles, hang gliders, wagons, carts, portage wheels, and the landing of aircraft including helicopters. Contact the agency for more information about regulations.
  * Some lands around and within the wilderness are not federally administered. Please respect the property rights of the owners and do not cross or use these lands without their permission.
