Nature Trail, Picnic tables, pack it in pack it out, this site provides access to the Cave Creek trail system. Parking for 40 vehicles plus trailers. Stock water available. Six horse pens and manure bin.
From Carefree, take Cave Creek Road/Seven Springs Road/Forest Road (FR) 24 for 15 miles north to Bronco Trailhead. The last 3 miles of FR 24 is an all-weather gravel road. The gravel portion of the road is narrow with blind curves. Click here for map.
Some great views along the Bronco Trail. I thought it would be a so-so hike, but it turned out to be much more enjoyable than I had hoped.
Very nice place to park. It has restrooms not portapotties. Plenty of room to park truck with a trailer for trip to Sheeps bridge.
Trail needs some maintenence. Grass and shrubs have grown over some areas. Rocky in some areas. Pretty views for this area.
Great trail, fairly difficult. Some running creeks and a intermitant water tank to filter water. Theres some good areas to camp along the route. Good 1/2 day backpack teip. Avoid skull mesa trail, poorly maintained and hard to follow, you will probably get lost.
