Description:

Raw Deal is a short trail (1.2 miles) that begins and ends in a wash. It offers a little bit of something for everybody. Many of the obstacles can be taken with varying degrees of difficulty, and a couple can be bypassed. As is the case with many AZ trails, it is best if accompanied by someone who has ran the trail before. There are a few spots were a good spotter will be appreciated. The are several bedrock "cracks" to negotiate, as well as a few rock ledges, varying sized boulders, etc.

Remember to Tread lightly!

How to Get There:
Proceed North from Phoenix via I-17. Exit the freeway at the Table Mesa Road turnoff (between New River and Black Canyon City). Turn west, crossing over the freeway, and then turn right onto the access road that parallels the freeway. Proceed 1.7 miles down the tar road, which shortly turns into gravel. The trail starts off the left side of the road, just before you get to the first "Y". -
*The easiest way to find this, after you pass the obvious trail from the north, take eitehr wash on the left and your there. Just past two major pull offs to the left side*
