The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests cover an impressive 2.76 million acres across eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, surrounding the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains. The forests feature over 680 miles of rivers and streams, 24 lakes and reservoirs, and four wilderness areas, including Mount Baldy and Escudilla. They are home to a rich variety of wildlife, including elk, Mexican gray wolves, black bears, bald eagles, and a wide range of songbirds that you will likely hear echoing in the canyon as you explore this vast beautiful area.
