Itinerary description
Gradually climb to the historic town of Crown King along an easy and scenic road. Pass through old mining towns and follow the old rail bed of the Bradshaw Mountain Railroad on this popular weekend getaway. Once in Crown King, extend your day or weekend by taking numerous other trails through to Prescott or up to Towers Mountain.
How to get there: From the I-17/Loop 101 interchange in Phoenix, head north up I-17 for 33 miles. Take exit 248 (Bumble Bee/Crown King) and turn left. Follow Crown King Road for 1.9 miles to the end of the paved road. Staging is along the paved road and at numerous places along the first 3-4 miles of the trail.
n Crown King: easily extend your day by visiting the General Store, the historic Saloon (moved piece by piece from nearby Oro Bell Mine), or the Prospector Mall all in “downtown”. For more trails, consider the Towers Mountain Loop that leaves from Crown King, Senator Highway, which continues all the way to Prescott, or the trail to Horsethief Lake. All of these trails are great ways to spend a day or weekend up in the cool pines.
