Crown King Trail
Most of this route is easy to moderate, however there are a few difficult places that will challenge stock vehicles. These few obstacles have bypasses though, so you decide which way you want to go. The road is being systematically graded from the bottom up, but the top part of this trail changes after every winter season and even after each rain storm. In some places erosion has exposed more rocks and deep ruts have formed. Aggressive stock vehicles with good articulation can get up this trail with no problem, but you might have to skip one or two “fun hills” and take the easy route instead. This is a very popular trail on the weekends. Drive carefully and watch for ATVs and dirt bikes. On the way out of Crown King, if you take Crown King Road to Cleator and I-17, you’ll notice signs of recent wild fires and mud slides that followed
