Cedar Bench Wilderness

Cedar Bench Wilderness is a protected area in Prescott National Forest in central Arizona, established in 1984 by the Arizona Wilderness Act. It preserves the broad benchland between the drainages of the Agua Fria and Verde rivers. Its terrain ranges from about 4,500 to 6,700 feet in elevation, creating distinct plant zones across the landscape. Saguaro cactus grow along the Verde River, while chaparral occupies higher ground, and smaller stands of pinyon pine and Utah juniper appear on the upper points.
