Eldorado Jeep Trail, Arizona
View Original Description
The Eldorado Jeep Trail Road is 13 miles of backcountry trail located in Arizona. It follows washes west from U.S. 93, running through the Black Mountains to the shore of Lake Mohave. The road is mostly smooth and flat (although the word “Jeep” in the name implies otherwise) with a just a few rocky areas. This road is a good 25 miles south of Hoover Dam and 13 miles from the paved road, so be sure have plenty of fuel, a spare tire and lots of water. Eldorado Jeep Trail starts around mile marker 24.5 on 93, south of Hoover Dam. The first two miles are meticulously maintained, however the trail turns into a tight washboard trail after Pople Mine. Fun but not overly challenging.
TIPS:
Bring extra fuel, spare tire and plenty of water
Mountain Bikers:most of the road surface is soft, loose gravel.
Not recommended in Summer heat. Be prepared if attempting in Summer.
