Picacho Peak Wilderness Access provides entry to an 8,858-acre BLM wilderness area located 40 miles south of Blythe, featuring three distinct regions with rugged volcanic terrain, canyons, and washes.

Access is via the 24-mile Picacho Road (paved for first 6 miles, then rough dirt road passable for most vehicles), with nearby Picacho State Recreation Area offering primitive camping, boat launches, and Colorado River access for fishing and paddling.

Visitors should carry extra water and fuel, as the area is remote with extreme temperatures; the best visiting season is mid-October through April.
