Itinerary description
Take the short yet fun ride to the historic Anderson Mill in the San Domingo Wash near Wickenburg, Arizona. The relatively easy trail is only 5 miles (one way) and follows a series of old mining trails and dry river bottoms. With plenty of other mines in the area, this trip allows for plenty of exploration. The trail ends at the historic Underwood Homestead.
