South Spur Loop to Oatman

Trail Overview

This trail is a spur section of the AZPT trail. One end of the trail has access from Highway 10, close to the town of Oatman. This trail is rocky and bumpy. None of the rocks are difficult obstacles. Navigating the trail requires good tire placement and possibly airing down your tires a bit for comfort. The trail has a narrow, rocky ridgeline section, which is the most complicated, and there are no spots to pass other vehicles. This section would require backing up or down to let other vehicles pass. This trail goes through some private property that is currently open but owned by a horse. It is unclear if it will remain open in the future. There are no fences, though. The end of this trail that has access to the highway has multiple flat campsites that are easy for vans or RVs to get to. It is a popular area for dispersed camping. There is 5G service and views out to the valley. A nice memorial site is just off the beginning of the trail where the highway intersects. It is a neat rock formation with some crosses on it and a large hole in the rock. This area can also get extremely hot in the summer months. Bring extra water and supplies if traveling during the summer.
