Upper Burro Creek is one of the few perennial streams to flow undammed into Arizona's lower desert. 13 miles (21 km) of the upper portion of Burro Creek flow through the Upper Burro Creek Wilderness, which is divided into eastern and western sections by a dirt road. These thirteen miles (21 km) of Burro Creek have cut a deep channel through incised bedrock, falling about 1,500 feet (457 m) in one half-mile stretch. Away from the creek the wilderness preserves rough side canyons, and steep basaltmesas topped with desert grassland. Negro Ed Butte is a dominant feature in the area.[2]
Common recreational activities in Upper Burro Creek Wilderness include hiking, backpacking, camping, hunting, rock collecting, horseback riding, swimming, birdwatching, and photography.[1] There are several access routes, for example via Six Mile Crossing on the Burro Creek,[3] itself a diverse wildlife area.[4]
