Road trip guide: Conquering the Secret Pass in AZ
Secret Pass is a mountain pass at an elevation of 1.070m (3,510ft) above the sea level, located in Mohave County, in the northwestern corner of the U.S. state of Arizona.
Located south of Highway 68, the road is totally unpaved. It’s 19.95km (12.4 mi) long, and offers some really amazing scenery. The road is pretty easy, with some steep parts and difficulties. A few rocky spots and steep spots should be expected and 4wd is recommended.
The drive is very scenic and offers great views of Mount Nutt Wilderness. Always check the weather forecast before you start your journey: adverse conditions are common. There are a lot of cool old mines out there to explore (at your own risk). Rattlesnakes are very common so watch your step. Cell service is okay in some parts, but don’t rely on it.
