Trail Head: East Trailhead
The access road is not regularly maintained, and crosses Aravaipa Creek several times in the last 10 miles. High-clearance vehicles are recommended. Towing assistance is 50 miles away. Flash flooding can make the road impassable. Call ahead (928-348-4400) for road conditions.
From Phoenix (188 miles, 4.5 to 5 hours): Take US Highway 60 to Globe. At Globe, continue east on US Highway 70 to the Klondyke Road (8 miles past Ft. Thomas). Turn right onto this graded dirt road, go 24 miles to the "Y" intersection, turn right and go another 16 miles to the trailhead. From the trailhead parking and kiosk, it is a 1.5-mile hike through Nature Conservancy land to the east wilderness boundary. |

No. To prevent harassment of wildlife or other visitors, dogs and other pets are not permitted in the canyon. _________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Diane: TH time is TBD at this time. Plan is see if we can get to HorseCamp for the night.
azbackpacker& Sunray: I do not have permits for you. I can get a max of 10 -- all of which are spoken & paid for at this time. The sign up is not working correctly --
If you want to go you will have to get your own permits |

De nada.
Even though he is stationed at the WEST end, that BLM ranger is a royal PITA (think Barney Fife with a ponytail). Some days he either hikes into the canyon or drives around to the east end -
There is also a cooler part-time guy stationed around the EAST end, but he may still draw the line at a dog. The WEST end guy would likely handcuff you for it.
I figured you didn't need/want the hassle of THAT. _________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Hey, someone out there: I got my permit separately, as already discussed. At least, I applied, was accepted, and paid for it. Was I supposed to print something out or are they going to mail me a permit? Where do I get the piece of paper that says I have a permit? I guess I should go back online and look, huh? |

You print your Aravaipa permit from the BLM website. If you have your confirmation email ID you can go on the confirm your permit link and print it from there. |
