Within the Gila National Forest there is the Gila Wilderness, a part of New Mexico with so few humans that, according to
USA Today, it's used breed the critically endangered Mexican grey wolf. Some camping and fishing is allowed in the interior, but not much else.
The 872 square miles of wilderness is home to bears, rattlesnakes, reintroduced elk, beavers, and fish, including the Gila trout. Although the Gila monster is present in New Mexico, strangely enough it is uncommon in the Gila Wilderness.
