Wagoner Road
 The
west side of the Bradshaw Mountains has
a scenic road that meanders through
several large beautiful ranches as it
follows the Hassayampa River. Don't
attempt this drive during wet weather,
you won’t be able to cross the many
creeks. This is actually one of the
historic stage routes to Phoenix. One
can also go all the way to Crown King
this way but it’s a long slow drive that
will require a high clearance 4x4
vehicle. This driving adventure takes
you to Arizona’s greatest disaster. In
1890 a dam along the Hayassampa River
burst and killed many people downstream
in Fools Town and also flooded
Wickenburg. See the map for driving
points and directions.
