Overview

Black Rock Gulch can be considered a gateway to a truly memorable back-country off-road experience. The trail passes through scenic Arizona desert landscapes all while granting access to some of the most remote country in the United States. This trail is an ideal entry point for those looking to explore the Paiute Wilderness and the massive Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument region. The trail is easy enough for all stock 4x4's and connects with the very popular & scenic, 1004 Black Rock Mountain trail. Around the midpoint of the route, there are several points where you can get out and enjoy the views of Black Rock Gulch, a picturesque canyon that cuts through this rugged landscape. Be sure to keep an eye out for the elusive Golden Eagles and other large predator birds that frequent this area. This area is remote, be sure to plan your route and pack for a long day or weekend on the trail.
