Trail Overview
North Mine Road is an out-and-back trail to the Anderson Mill. Along the main route, the road winds up and down the lower Wickenburg Mountains with amazing views. Once you descend into the wash, you will see historic remnants such as a natural spring and an old water pump as you drive under the water lines once used at the mill. There are several areas to park on the left-hand side of the wash near the mill. If you explore north of the mill, there is another natural spring along with the Underwood family gravesites.
