4345

4345, also shown as Rice Road on some maps, traverses over the hills and through the washes like 4342 but with much better scenery. There is more plant life closer to the mountains. The hills are a little taller, and the washes are a bit deeper. The panoramic views of the valleys and surrounding mountains off in the distance with the clear blue sky backdrop make for a great day of exploring. Combine this trail with 4359 for a day trip through one of the prettiest areas on the northern foothills of the Mohave Mountains. This trail used to continue further south and into Havasu Heights, but access has long been blocked off by private property. There is no legal access into Havasu Heights through this trail or any connecting trails.
