Trail Overview
The Rincon Mine Road is a one-lane dirt road that heads uphill with its final destination at the Rincon Mine. Parts of this road are on a rock shelf and the majority of it is rocky. There is one major obstacle on this road, aside from the erosion and possible growing washouts. A double-shelf set makes this road a bit of a challenge; proper line choice is essential. There is a large camping area with primitive fire pits along this trail, as well as stunning views that show the various forms of cactus in the area. This trail starts on Arizona State Trust Land which requires a yearly permit that can be purchased and printed online. The permit allows certain recreational activities, including camping, bicycling, bird watching, GPS-based recreational activities (geocaching), hiking, horseback riding, off-highway vehicle (OHV) usage, photography, picnicking, and sightseeing.
