Baboquivari Peak Wilderness is a 2,065-acre protected area in southern Arizona's Baboquivari Mountains, designated in 1990 and jointly overseen by the Bureau of Land Management and the Tohono O'odham Nation. Centered on 7,730-foot Baboquivari Peak, the smallest federally designated wilderness in Arizona is both a notable backcountry climbing destination and the most sacred place in Tohono O'odham tradition. Known as Vav Giwulik, it is tied to I'itoi and to O'odham beliefs about emergence after a great flood. The peak also figures in regional written history, from Padre Kino's journals beginning in 1699 to the first recorded ascent in 1898 after five attempts.
