Visiting
The most popular time to visit the refuge is between November and March. A free permit is required to visit the refuge; obtain at the refuge office in Ajo, Arizona or by mail. A local organization gives evening presentations on the history, flora, and fauna during these months. Only lawfully-killed game may be taken from the area.
The historic El Camino del Diablo 4WD road crosses the southernmost part of the refuge, near the Mexican border. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
