Paiute Wilderness Area
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for 1 in every 10 acres of land in the U.S.
The Paiute Wilderness Area is in northwest Arizona near the borders with Nevada and Utah. The wilderness area contains the Virgin Mountains, which are 5,600 feet high, and Mt. Bangs, with an 8,012 feet peak.
Located 57 miles north of Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument and 46 miles northeast of Gold Butte National Monument, the wilderness area covers about 87,900 acres. There are more than 250 animal species in the area, including mountain lions, desert tortoises, mule deer, and bighorn sheep. It is the best camping ground for anyone seeking solitude or an adventure with friends or family. Zion National Park is also only about 75 miles away.

Fishing and Boating
If you want to go on a fishing adventure, you might consider Virgin River, which is 35 miles northwest of the Paiute Wilderness Area. The river is within Zion National Park, where there is a paved trail that takes you around the river. The river has several native fish species, including Virgin River spine dace, speckled dace, desert sucker, and flannel-mouth sucker. Non-native fish species are cutthroat trout, brown trout, channel catfish, brook trout, and rainbow trout. A Utah State fishing license is required for every individual older than 16. A wilderness permit is required to use a watercraft on the Virgin River. There are also swimming holes for those not interested in fishing or boating. A great location is the Pine Creek Waterfall swimming hole.
Wildlife Viewing
There is plenty of wildlife inhabiting this wilderness including the desert tortoise, mule deer, bobcats, skunks, coyote, fox, jackrabbit, and the bighorn sheep. Also, bring a pair of binoculars to watch birds like owls, eagles, and songbirds.
Hunting
The presence of large game like the mule deer and bighorn sheep attracts many hunters to the wilderness. Check the Utah hunting season calendar to know the most appropriate times to hunt. Also, apply for a fishing and hunting permit via the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
Rock Climbing
Head to Zion National Park for rock climbing opportunities. The park has wonderful sandstone cliffs that can act as big wall climbs. If you are inexperienced, avoid the rocky routes as they are difficult and could get you exhausted fast. Also, if an area has been dampened by seasonal rain, avoid climbing it.
