About
Bureau of Land Management
This Ironwood Forest National Monument is made up of 129,000 acres and contains a significant system of cultural and historical sites covering a 5,000-year period. Possessing one of the richest stands of ironwood in the Sonoran Desert, the monument also encompasses several desert mountain ranges including the Silver Bell, Waterman, and Sawtooth, with desert valleys in between.
Elevation ranges from 1,800 to 4,261 feet. Three areas within the monument, the Los Robles Archeological District, the Mission of Santa Ana del Chiquiburitac and the Cocoraque Butte Archeological District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The monument is a travel corridor for illegal immigrants traveling from Mexico. All suspected illegal activities should be reported to BLM or local law enforcement authorities. Stay safe by avoiding contact with persons exhibiting suspicious behavior or engaged in dangerous activities. Drive with caution and look for fast-moving vehicles and pedestrians on back roads. Some roads are rugged: high clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended in those areas.

Peaceful Desert Camping
About 40 minutes away from Saguaro NP. Absolutely beautiful. Arrived late in the afternoon on a Saturday night. Only a couple of other campers, plenty of sites available. Dirt roads, but easily accessible in a mini van. Fires allowed.
Good night spot.
Easy access to a few spots off road. Not to busy. Nice sunsets.
Love this area
Always leave it cleaner than it was. Some really nice sites, one had super nice fire pit even flat rocks for pans. Another site was basically landscaped with fist size or larger rocks. Very much enjoyed our stay. Seems to becoming more popular but sites are a good distance apart. You can be out of site easily or within 60 feet of the next site if you wish. Don't recommend if it's going to rain, you'll be stuck.
