Ruby Wash

The solitude and a rock-crawling adventure within an hour of Phoenix, Arizona, make Ruby Wash a great place to explore and spend the day. Located in the Buckhorn Mountains, this trail offers a gateway into an entire network of trails with various difficulty levels and optional routes. The area is filled with old mining activity, with the most prominent being the Independence Mine which started its operations nearly 100 years ago in 1919. The entire off-road trail is interesting and challenging, even for modified vehicles. The route has a little bit of everything from sandy washes, rocks, boulders, canyons, and hill climbs.
