Trail Overview

Crucifixion is a desert two-track for vehicles 50 inches wide or less, accessed directly from the Hayfield Draw OHV staging area. The trail is a decent width for ATVs, even though it looks mostly ridden by dirt bikes. It's full of big loose rocks in the trail at times, but also has many sections that are rock-free. You'll need to watch out for washouts and ravine crossings since this type of terrain can change drastically after flash floods. There are a couple off-camber washouts, and a section of shelfier off-camber trail when it goes around the side of a hill that could be more difficult for an ATV. Even though it's pretty rocky, it's a pretty easy trail for a dirt bike or ATV. It goes through rolling hills filled with mesquite shrubs and juniper trees, and is mostly flat, with lots of curves. There are a couple of hills that are slightly steeper, but it only changes a couple hundred feet in elevation.

Access Description

The Hayfield Draw OHV area near Camp Verde, Arizona, accesses 80 acres of motorized cross-country areas and trails for dirt bikes and ATVs of 50 inches or less in the Prescott National Forest. The area is open seasonally from September 1 to May 31 since it is too hot to ride during the summer. There are about 8 ATV trails accessed from this staging area of easy to intermediate difficulty, and you can connect to the Copper Canyon OHV area by taking the Camp Verde trail 11 miles south, but the Copper Canyon trails are much more rocky and difficult. The Hayfield Draw staging area has restrooms, shaded picnic tables, and garbage service. It is day-use only and costs $5 per vehicle, except it is free on Wednesdays.
