Blue Wilderness Trail

Take a thrilling journey on the amazing Blue Wilderness loop. Begin by riding through a narrow slot canyon (one can almost touch the canyon walls on each side), then ascend to the expansive high country with its rolling hills. Enjoy breathtaking views of Arizona's majestic mountainous landscape and explore the remains of a historic cabin from the late 1800s.

The Blue Mountains boast some of the most distinctive and stunning geological formations you'll encounter anywhere. Similar to the diverse and breathtaking landscapes of Utah, the towering rock formations create a surreal oasis in the midst of a dense, forested wilderness.

Travel to our mountain camp located near a historic cabin from the late 1800s. There is a great opportunity to spot elk and deer while exploring diverse landscapes along the route.

One of the most varied loop riding experiences in Arizona offers constantly changing landscapes and views as we transition from one stunning terrain to another. One particularly unique stop is the "Talc Uprising," where expansive white columns of this fine mineral burst across acres of landscape, resembling terrain found in Utah. It is the most extraordinary geological formation along the route.

We will pack up our camp and return to the trailhead using a different path. We will ride up to one of the tallest peaks in the Blue Wilderness, where we will see a natural lake. Then we will ride down through various landscapes as we decrease in elevation, transitioning from old-growth alpine terrain to desert-like environments. This will serve as a suitable conclusion to our exploration of Nature's Hidden Treasures.
