Fishhooks Wilderness

Tucked into the mountains north of the Gila Valley, Fishhooks Wilderness takes its name from dramatic rock formations that curl along its skyline like giant fishhooks. Thousands of acres of protected, largely trail-less terrain offer rugged cliffs, desert grasslands, and remote canyons for hikers and backcountry explorers comfortable navigating without developed facilities. It's one of Graham County's least-visited wilderness areas — a genuine off-the-map destination for travelers who've already explored the valley's better-known trails.
