Trail Overview

This is a spur trail off the main Henderson Flat trail. The first portion of the trail is well maintained heading south towards the Perkinsville Railroad and a huge view of the Verde Valley and Mingus Mountain. As the trail winds east and then back north, it becomes more challenging, dipping through rocky washes. Eventually, as you work back towards Henderson Flat, the trail is harder to identify and more overgrown. Caution: recent burns may add road blockages. This route has a wide view of the red rocks bordering the Sycamore Wilderness.

Difficulty

The first portion is recently bulldozed, but the second half dips through rocky washes and canyons. Lift and tires are required and maybe full skids to avoid damage.

About 1/2 way through it appears that the road is completely washed away - and the trail turns back on itself. Also be VERY CAREFUL if there is ANY WATER around. There is literally over a dozen crossings (I did it when it was bone dry). There are some very steep/eroded entrances and exits.

Henderson flats was a lot easier than the counter clockwise north section of this. The north section was also the prettiest part, driving through the burned out pines, tons of wildflowers and deer
