Mine Route Lookout

Trail Overview

Wide and flowing, the Mine Route Lookout Trail leads from the plateau of the Prescott National Forest up through the Juniper trees to the Matterhorn Mine. An active area where blasting and mining is present, you'll want to be on the lookout for large trucks and tractor-trailers hauling their loads on this road. There are no obstacles along this route, but you'll still want to pay attention to possible wildlife (javelina and deer, mostly) and the sneaky rock or dip that might cause a bit of jostling.

Difficulty

This trail is dirt or rocky road with gentle grades. Safe for most 4WD and high-clearance 2WD vehicles. Roads are typically two vehicles wide.
