Great Hike

The hike to the top of Vulture Peak is doable but challenging at times. The trail is very moderate until the ascent to the top. At that point the trail is still good but the steepness of the trail and switchbacks may cause you to...More

A good hike on a cold morning.

An excellent 5 mile hike in a park, which starts as an easy hike and gradually becomes more difficult closer to the peak with a hands and feet scramble to the summit. The pathway was more difficult to follow coming back from the peak and...More

Best hike in the town of Wickenburg. A four wheel drive can shorten the hike and add to the fun. There is plenty of parking...and a bathroom. The trail itself is well marked. The "saddle" is a nice place to stop and take a break....More
