Overview

Wickenburg has a rich history in mining and cattle ranching. Constellation Road, one of the main routes in the region, passes several old mines and working ranches before finally reaching the Hassayampa River Canyon Wilderness Region. The trail passes numerous mines, including the photogenic Monte Cristo, and many of its original structures remain. The trail ends at the Hassayampa River Wilderness Area, with several miles of great hiking through beautiful remote canyons. An active cattle ranch still operated along the edge of the wilderness. This easy but rugged, remote trail makes for an exciting day trip deep into the area's remote history.
