Vulture Mine Road Dispersed

This is a 1.5-mile-long section of full-width dirt road that accesses the Vulture Mine Recreation Area and a ton of dispersed camping spots on Arizona State Trust Land. It has some uneven ruts, is a bit loose, has some small hills, and crosses a small wash in the beginning, but is pretty accessible by most 2WD vehicles. The gentle hills on this trail have some water erosion to navigate and could become more dug out in the future without maintenance. Take caution if driving this trail after rain storms. Several camp spots within the first half mile are pretty big rig-friendly, although everyone seems to camp right at the entrance to this road in a huge clearing, so it's worth it to go back a bit farther for more remote campsites. This trail takes the adventurer from the highway into hillsides covered in giant saguaro cacti. A few stunning rock formations tower in the distance and some of the trail networks will head close to these formations. The road continues south as 9052, which gets more difficult. It also continues to a very small mine. It has a flat spot that one could use as a dispersed campsite. The trail entrance to the mine is narrow and rated a 3-4. There isn't much space to turn around, so use caution if traveling with a larger group. Parking larger vehicles on the main trail and walking over to check out the mine is recommended. This is a great way to access all of the OHV trails in this area. There are also some non-motorized hikes accessed off of this road. It's got a great view of Vulture Peak in the distance.
