Flat Tire Canyon 3.0

Flat Tire Canyon is a scenic, little used Jeep trail in a fairly remote area.

It only takes a couple hours to do the trail, but it takes a long time to get there and home again.  Think about entering from Superior and exiting either the Mineral Mountain Road or Cottonwood Canyon.

Oh yeah - Do not worry about the name of the trail.  Nobody EVER gets a flat tire there!!!  Hi Brad!  Hi Harry!

​There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

Bighorn sheep country

Take the second right-hand turn after leaving Telegraph Canyon and there is a good spot to take a break at an open mine shaft.

​Great views along the entire trail.

The far end of this loop drops down into a canyon shown in the next photo.  The eroded hill left of the "closed for construction" sign is the most difficult part of the trail.  Do the trail clockwise if you want to do this uphill.

The construction was a LONG time ago
