This short connector backcountry road is located north of the Mohave Mountains and runs east into the Buck Mountains from Franconia Road and joins with Through the Bucks Trail at Waypoint 8. Spirit Ridge Road is also the trailhead for Arizona Yucca Mine where you can see a couple old mines, a very well preserved arrastra, and numerous old mining prospects. If you're out on any of these trails and want to explore more of the desert's beauty on other trails, Spirit Ridge Road will lead you through the hills to more.
