Trail Overview

Be advised before beginning: This trail does cross CRIT (Colorado River Indian Tribes) land and, as such, requires their permit, which can be purchased at Fish and Game in Parker, Arizona. The permit is good for 1 year. This is a great trail, with lots of vertical climbs and descents, and generally follows a gas pipeline and high transmission powerlines through the mountain pass. The scenery towards California to the west and towards Quartzite to the east is stunning.
