Desert Landscape Black and White Vertical by TL Wilson Photography

The Harquahala Mountain Byway runs adjacent to the 22,880-acre Harquahala Mountains Wilderness, which lies in Maricopa and La Paz counties. The wilderness is perfect for nature lovers as it is filled with wildlife and has extremely diverse native plants. It even contains a rare species of cactus. For those who love to hike or backpack, the area provides a rugged landscape and a sheltered canyon called Brown's Canyon.

The Harquahala Mountains Wilderness is part of an extensive mountain range, and includes Harquahala Peak. The peak is 5,691 feet tall and the last 0.75 miles ascends sharply for 1,400 feet.
