Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness Passes

Every Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness wilderness-permit entry point on recreation.gov - AllTrails ratings, demand scores, and a trailhead map.

An Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness permit covers trips into a lush, perennial desert stream canyon on BLM land in Arizona, where the hike is the creek itself - wading between towering canyon walls. A permit is required year-round for everyone, even day hikers, and access is split between an East and a West entrance. Because the daily quota is small, prime spring and fall dates go fast.
