Trail Overview
The Copper Basin Road is a wide dirt road that has no obstacles on it. Along this road there is evidence of erosion and water damage from the monsoon rains that have swept across it, shaping this landscape. Still, you'll find hills and some bumps, but we've all been on driveways and highways that are rougher. A long road, and the phenomenal views get even better the further West you travel. When you come out, in Skull Valley, pop into the retro shop for a lemonade, iced coffee, or an Ice Cream, and sit in the shade of their outdoor area to plot where you head next.

Difficulty
This road looks to be graded and semi-maintained at least part of the year. There are no obstacles to speak of other than some bumps along the way. Little service, so please download offline maps, take it slow and enjoy the views.
