Trail Overview
This is a very scenic route but if it is wet, it can be quite tricky. Most likely will not see anyone on this very rough but not too challenging route. Rocky, bumpy, windy, and sandy. This route starts in Crown King and routes you to the Senator Highway then to walker gulch and ultimately to castle hot springs and pops out at Lake Pleasant Good chance you may see some wild burros too!
