Trail Information

Highlights

With more curves than a 1940s-era pinup model, Maggie Mine Road snakes upwards into the foothills of the Bradshaw Mountains. Along the way, it passes its namesake, the Maggie Mine, a small gold operation first prospected in the 1870s. Today it sits on private land and is not open to visitors. The rutted and rocky trail skirts gardens of prickly pear with their red fruits and the very thorny silver cholla. Forests of stately saguaros stand like so many sentinels, always on watch over their desert. To the west, the handsome Bradshaw Mountains dominate the jagged horizon. Glance east now and then, and you will see traffic on the interstate. Smile. They aren't having as much fun as you.

Trail is a bit on the rough side, but a high clearance 2wd vehicle will have no issues at all. The road that darts off at waypoint 2 has some killer campsites!!

Very rocky so if your in a Jeep it'll be a bit slow. Nice run.

Nice trail, great views. I bet the sunsets from this drive are fantastic. I was driving my bone stock 01 2wd tundra.

We ended out time out today with Maggie Mine Rd while headed back into Black Canyon City. The trail was rough as I remember it. No need for 4 wheel drive. MM rd serves as a good alternative for the interstate. No significant changes to report.
