Overview

Located about 30 miles north of Phoenix, near Bumble Bee Ranch, scenic Turkey Creek Trail winds like a rollercoaster through and above several canyons, including Black Canyon, Dead Cow Gulch, and Turkey Creek Canyon. This trail along the base of the Bradshaw Mountains passes through many silver and gold mining areas established as far back as the early 1900s. Fantastic views, rocky terrain, and multiple water crossings await those adventurous enough to take the long way to the unique Cleator Bar and Yacht Club.
