Trail Overview

This 9.4 mile point to point trail follows a section of the original US Highway 93 that was decommissioned around 1959 upon the completion of Interstate 40. The first half of the trail starting from Highway 93 is a well-maintained dirt road with some washboarding. When the road makes a sharp right turn, you must cross over the bank and pass through a gate. This next section has erosion damage with washes under 12" in depth. This portion of the trail is passable by most 4WD vehicles and some higher clearance AWD vehicles.

The south end starts in Wickenburg, Arizona and ends at the US/Canada border (Port of Roosville). This section was built around 1939 as an extension from Kingman, Arizona to Wickenburg, Arizona. The section this trail runs was decommissioned some time around 1957 when I-40 was built.
