Description
Conquer the Bradshaw Mountains: A Rugged 4×4 Self-Guided Tour Through Arizona’s Public Lands
Looking for the ultimate 4×4 self-guided tour in Arizona? The Bradshaw Mountains expedition delivers a raw, challenging off-road experience across some of the most rugged public lands in the Southwest. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned off-road explorer, this backcountry adventure offers everything you’re looking for—technical trails, breathtaking views, and deep mining history.
This self-guided overland journey takes anywhere from one to three days, depending on your route and pace. The trails cut through BLM (Bureau of Land Management), USFS (U.S. Forest Service), Arizona State Trust Land (AZTL), and even skirt private property—so always stay respectful and avoid trespassing.
The Bradshaw Mountains trails feature a mix of washed-out creek beds, boulder-strewn paths, loose sand, and tight shelf roads. These aren’t groomed park trails—this is the real deal. Be ready for deep ruts, pinstripes, and the occasional winch session. This is off-road adventure on public land the way it was meant to be.
With elevations reaching nearly 7,000 feet, the views are nothing short of epic. You’ll wind your way to places like Crown King, a historic mining town frozen in time, and uncover hidden gems like Bradshaw City and the gravesite of Isaac Bradshaw, the legendary silver prospector.
Along the way, explore abandoned mines, remote gravesites, forgotten settlements, and scattered relics of Arizona’s wild past. We’ve got you covered with downloadable GPX and KML map files to help keep you on track.
To tackle this rugged terrain, you’ll need a lightly modified 4×4 rig—we recommend at least a 2-inch lift and 33-inch tires. Air down, gear up, and expect the unexpected. These trails are rarely traveled and can turn from mild to wild in a heartbeat. Never wheel alone, and always carry recovery gear, extra fuel, water, and spare parts.
