U.S. Forest Service - Wilderness
The Pine Creek Wilderness is a gently sloping area ranging from 2,000 feet elevation in the south to 4,000 feet in the north. Pine Creek and its numerous tributaries drain the area north to south. Most streams, with the exception of Pine Creek, are dry for parts of the year. Vegetation is mostly chamise chaparral and scrub oak with riparian and oak woodland vegetation in stream bottoms and benches. Rainbow and bass are found in Pine Creek. Several trails provide access to the area.
