Muleshoe Ranch Cooperative Management Area

Wild Cow Springs Recreation Site is situated in a grove of oak and large ponderosa pines within the Hualapai Mountains, at a 6,200 foot elevation. Rising high above the surrounding desert, the Hualapai Range is in effect a cool green island surrounded by a sea of cactus and desert shrubs. This recreation site becomes especially attractive during the summer months, with temperatures here averaging 20 degrees cooler than the nearby desert valleys located over 3,000 feet below. Wild Cow Springs Recreation Site appeals to visitors seeking a quiet, wooded refuge.
