Overview

Newer offroaders can cut their teeth and build their confidence on Happy Camp with a few off-camber situations, shelf roads, minor rock obstacles, switchbacks, potential water crossings, and feeling very remote.

Happy Camp provides access to over 170 miles of networked hiking trails deep into the Superstition Wilderness. The Arizona Trail crosses Happy Camp Road at three different points. It is an 800-mile hiking trail traversing Arizona from the Mexico border to Utah. The crossings are part of Passage 18, Reavis Canyon, which runs from Picketpost Trailhead to Rogers Trough Trailhead.
