Considerable "bush-whacking" may be necessary to negotiate the Burro Creek corridor or areas of chaparral brush. The summer climate in this area is harsh, with temperatures in the daytime often exceeding 100 degrees. Temperatures are more moderate between October 1 and April 30th. Several access roads to this wilderness have a high clay component to them. Following precipitation events, these roads can be impassable for a period of time. Some lands around the wilderness are not federally administered. Please respect the property rights of the owners and do not cross or use these lands without their permission. .
