Trail Overview
Copper Basin Wash is a standard Arizona wash trail. When in the wash, you'll encounter spots of deep, soft sand, and overgrown trees. Some parts of this trail are narrow, but if you take it slow, you shouldn't receive too much paint damage, though some is possible. When climbing out of the wash to the ridge, you'll encounter rocky hill climbs with erosion and ruts/cuts due to water damage. This area is filled with old mine ruins, shafts, and debris, so if you do go exploring, caution is urged. There is no cell service in this area of the Prescott National Forest, so offline maps are recommended.
