The Miller Peak Wilderness encompasses 20,190 acres and is managed by the Coronado National Forest.

[3] This is also the most southerly peak and land area to rise above 9,000 feet in the continental United States.

The area was affected by the 2011 Monument fire and most of the pine trees seen in older photographs were burned and destroyed.

Furthermore, the satellite images also tend to suggest that in the few locations where 100% tree kill took place, the forest is already beginning to regenerate.

Perhaps the most well-known trailhead is found at the end of Miller Canyon Road, near Hereford, Arizona.
