Potential Tour List

Discover Arizona’s wild side with our curated half- and full-day adventures. Explore rugged peaks, desert trails, and scenic canyons—from Woolsey Peak to Mingus Mountain—for an unforgettable journey through nature’s best landscapes.

Belmont Mountains — Where Arizona Shows You Who’s Boss
Nestled about 50 miles west of Phoenix lies the Belmont Mountains — a 25-mile stretch of raw, rugged desert spine that meets the horizon with attitude. The highest point? Sugarloaf Mountain, rising ~3,418 ft, marking the crown of both the Belmonts and Hummingbird Springs terrain. 
But the real draw is Belmont Mountain Trail — our kind of playground. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but it’s not suicidal either. Think old mining roads, desert climbs, washes, and wild side spurs that whisper “you want to go that way?” 

What You’ll Get When You Roll With Us
Distance & Time: Around 13–16 miles of off-pavement terrain. Takes ~2–4 hours depending on how many detours you take.
Difficulty: Mostly moderate. The main route is doable in a high-clearance 4×4 (stock SUVs can usually hold their own). The optional side trails get spicy. 
Terrain & Features:
  • Sandy washes, rocky climbs, and eroded sections that’ll make you earn your line choices.
  • Historic mining remains — old shafts, ruins, mine foundations — plenty to poke around (but don’t go spelunking).
  • Broad desert vistas, sweeping views from higher ridgelines, and that kind of solitude that makes your skin tingle. 
Why We Love It — And You Will Too
Because this is a trail that gives back. You push a little, you get rewarded with views. You explore old mining history. You carve your own path through desert wash and rocky incline. There’s freedom in that.
It’s close enough to Phoenix to make it a solid half-day mission. But remote enough to feel like you’ve escaped civilization.

Pro Tips Before You Tag Along
1.Clearance is king — even though parts are mellow, some sections demand you keep your belly off the rocks.
2.Line choice matters — some washed out bits can bite you if you’re lazy.
3.Watch for rain — a little water turns washes into troublemakers.
4.Explore smart — those mining ruins are cool, but many shafts are unstable or fenced off. Respect the signs.
5.Bring the essentials — water, recovery gear, navigation, spare parts — treat the desert like a beast, not a backyard.

Half-day

Box Canyon Adventure — Wickenburg to Yarnell (Full Day Tour)
When we say full day, we mean it. This run is a sunrise-to-sunset kind of experience that takes you through some of the wildest transitions Arizona has to offer — from the sun-baked desert floors outside Wickenburg to the cool pine country up near Yarnell.
We start in Wickenburg, where the spirit of the Old West is alive and well. Once we leave town, the blacktop ends and the real adventure begins. The trail wastes no time throwing you into the action:
Box Canyon, with its sheer rock walls and narrow squeezes, is the first test. The echoes of engines bouncing between the canyon walls remind you this isn’t your average Sunday drive. You’ll thread your way through tight passages, pick careful lines over rocky shelves, and feel that surge of adrenaline only a proper canyon crawl delivers.
From there, the trail opens up into wide desert valleys, dotted with saguaros, ocotillo, and creosote. The pace quickens, the washes get wider, and you feel that sweet mix of speed and freedom that only the open desert can give.
As we climb, the landscape changes — the saguaros thin out, the air cools, and the views stretch wider with every mile. Along the way, we pass historic mining sites that whisper stories of prospectors who once carved a living out of this unforgiving land. Rusted equipment, old shafts, and stone foundations serve as reminders that the desert has always tested the tough.
The final push into Yarnell is a highlight all its own: winding switchbacks, rocky climbs, and long views that let you see just how far you’ve come. By the time we roll into town, you’ll have climbed nearly 3,000 feet in elevation and experienced every flavor of Arizona terrain — from canyon rock crawls to mountain passes.

What to Expect on This Tour
Duration: 6–8 hours, with plenty of stops to rest, explore, and soak in the scenery.
Terrain Variety: Canyons, desert washes, open valleys, historic mining ruins, and mountain climbs — it’s the ultimate sampler platter of Arizona off-roading.
Wildlife: Keep your eyes peeled for desert bighorn sheep, mule deer, hawks, and maybe even a javelina crossing the trail.
Climate Shifts: Start in the desert heat, finish in the cool pines — you’ll feel like you traveled across states, not just counties.
Thrills & Memories: From tight canyon crawls to high-altitude vistas, this ride delivers challenge, beauty, and bragging rights in equal measure.
