Overview

This short backcountry 4WD trail is located just over the mountains northeast of Lake Havasu City and runs up Blacksmith Canyon to an old corral and water tanks, and by some maps, Blacksmith Canyon Well. This is also the best spot on the northeast side of the Mohave Mountains to view the amazing wildflower blooms in the spring. During the seasonal bloom, you can expect to see Desert Poppies, Lupine, Desert Chickory, and Desert Globemallow. When in bloom, this is an excellent spot to gather the family, grab the camera and capture those amazing family pictures that will be happily displayed for years to come!
