Trail Overview
The Uphill is a rough trail filled with spots of erosion. This area is riddled with mines. Evidence of scraped earth and rock piles are present, as well as signage. Some of the erosion crossings are deep with off-camber entrances and exits. There are points on this trail that are narrow. Many types of cacti are visible along this trail, and it is fully exposed to the south. The trail tends to get more rough as you head north toward the mountains. The trail peters out into an area reclaimed by nature, thus Tread Lightly principles are imperative. This is 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.
