Overview

Ajax Mine Trail is a 2.7 mile-long rock crawling trail or can be run as a shelf road to view the mine ruins. It's mainly a boulder-strewn wash from the beginning and circles back to the start via the mining road above the entire route. There are numerous difficult rock waterfall obstacles without bypasses along the route. The trail is ideal for experienced wheelers with modified vehicles wishing to test and advance their skills. An Arizona State Trust Permit is required if you plan to enter the area. There are numerous routes to get to the area where the actual trail entrance is located. Unfortunately, there is very little trail signage around because the trails are not numbered by BLM.
