Trail Overview

Sheep Gulch is a narrow trail where tight brush guarantees paint damage. It terminates at the Agua Fria River, with the trail continuing down steep embankments and across water crossings. The route features a mix of humps and bumps, with sections of off-camber erosion adding to the challenge. A solid 3 in difficulty, this trail requires careful navigation through uneven terrain. There is little to no cell service in the area, so offline maps are a must.

Difficulty

This is an unmaintained trail that has varying terrain. Near the Agua Fria River, you'll find tight turns in heavy vegetation that guarantee paint damage. Getting to the river is a different story, with numerous wash crossings, off-camber sections, as well as shelf roads. There is erosion and potential for washouts, as well as water crossings if visited during the monsoon season or after a moisture event. There is little cell service in the area, so offline maps are recommended.
