Directions to Robbins Butte Wildlife Area

The Robbins Butte Wildlife Area is located south of the Gila River, southwest of the I-10/AZ-85 junction in Buckeye, AZ. The area contains a number of isolated ranges of hills set in the Lower Sonoran Desert. The desert vegetation here is sparse. Orienteering courses set around Robbins Butte Wildlife Area take advantage of the very runnable terrain.
