Trail Overview
Oatman Bypass is a 3-mile point-to-point, two-track trail that traverses the hill-drenched landscape, beginning/ending at Silver Creek Road (155) and Oatman Road (Highway 153). Throughout the trail, there are several hill climbs/descents of varying lengths and grades. Some are easy-going while a few of them feature loose terrain, steeper grades, rocky patches, small ledges, and erosion ruts/damage. There are a handful of offshoot trails for continued exploration. Enjoy the views of the dramatic landscape from the hilltops. Be sure to keep an eye out for the wild burrows that roam freely out here. The trail is most commonly driven with SXS but a high-clearance 4x4 in 4Lo could likely have some fun.
