Overview

Located north of Lake Pleasant in the southern foothills of the Bradshaw Mountains, Champie Road is an easily traveled winding trail connecting Cow Camp Road (aka the iconic Backway to Crown King) and scenic Castle Hot Springs Road. Named for Charles Edward Champie, an early pioneer in the area, the trail traverses a rugged landscape of striking geology, stately saguaro cacti, palo verde, ​and creosote bushes before dropping into the lush green riparian French Creek. The craggy Bradshaw Mountains provide visual treats while the pinnacle of Eagle Rock lords over the trail.
