Trail Overview
9061 is a narrow, high-clearance trail in the Vulture Mountains south of Wickenburg, Arizona. The road has sections of embedded rock on the surface, lots of ruts straight down the trail, and bits of loose rock. Part of it goes in a wash in the valley between the rolling desert hills. There are lots of blind corners in the wash as it weaves between the hills. It's pretty flat the whole way, only gradually losing a couple hundred feet of elevation over 2.5 miles as it goes south. There are lots of unmarked intersections as it goes through the wash. It climbs out of the wash on a hill that has a bit of embedded rock which is the only difficult part, and it gets up on top of a mesa with huge saguaros, cholla, and ocotillo cactus. The scenery is really pretty here. It continues very straight on top of the mesa, before dipping into another wash.
