Trail Information
Highlights
The Wickenburg, Arizona region has a rich history in mining and cattle ranching. Constellation Road, one of the main routes in the region, allows users to easily pass several old mines and a couple working ranches before finally reaching the Hassayampa River Canyon Wilderness Region. The area has many unmarked mines with one of the largest being Monte Cristo Mine where many of its original structures are still standing.
The trail ends at the Hassayampa Wilderness Region where there are several miles of great hiking through some beautiful and remote canyons. The region has numerous unmarked "jeep trails" that seem to crisscross everywhere in the desert, with some hiding desert secrets. The trail connects with Corner Spring which joins with Robert's Spring, making for a great all day 4x4 loop.

Fun trip. Enjoyed exploring the history of the road. The trail conditions and rating were spot on.
In addition to the waypoints in this trail guide, don’t miss visiting the side, Sayer Springs old stage stop just off the trail.
The remnants of the mining industry was great fun
The beginning of the trip was very easy, toward the end of the road became a little more rocky
