Trail Overview

This 17-mile point-to-point trail passes through the Aquarius Mountain Range. The first 7 miles is a 2 (easy) trail then the trail narrows and the ascents/descents become steeper. At 13.5 miles you will come across a series of closed mining structures and a couple of vehicles. Around 14.8 miles there is an old homestead in Gordon Canyon. This trail is passable with a stock 4WD vehicle. This trail goes through several washes, do not travel when there is a possibility of rain or after a rain storm.

Minor ruts, loose rock on trail, no evidence of recent use. Most rocks under 12”, hard to move on loose one that was over 12”. Highly recommend airing down, quite bumpy. Nothing major, a stock Jeep or off road vehicle could do this in its current state.
