About Maverick OHV Trail

Maverick OHV Trail is a mapped hiking route in Arizona, United States. The mapped distance is 78.1 km (48.5 mi), with 422 m (1,385 ft) of recorded ascent, with 681 m (2,234 ft) of recorded descent. Its recorded high point is 2,195 m (7,201 ft) and its low point is 1,801 m (5,909 ft). The displayed moving time of 3 days is a planning estimate based on distance and ascent, before breaks.

Hiking Trail Directory rates this route expert from the available distance and elevation measurements. That rating is useful for comparing routes in the directory, but it does not establish technical terrain, exposure, path condition or the skills required on the day. The start and finish differ on this point-to-point route; arrange the return journey before setting out.

The source data records route tags for mountain and long-distance path and membership of the rwn network. These attributes describe the route record as a whole; they do not prove that every section has the same surface, signage or feature.

The directory season field highlights june to october. This is planning metadata, not a live statement about snow, closures or trail condition.

The map is derived from OpenStreetMap and contains 210 geometry points. Elevation values were sampled from terrarium-z11. The traceable source record is 14124349. Open-data records can lag behind reroutes and closures, so compare the source, official notices and the forecast before travelling.

Plan around this route’s details

Start, finish and return
The recorded 78.1 km line has different endpoints. Confirm travel from the finish before setting out; that return journey is additional to the mapped route.
Climbing in context
The recorded ascent averages approximately 5 m of climbing per kilometre across the whole route. This is climbing density, not trail gradient: climbs and flatter sections may be unevenly distributed. Recorded descent totals 681 m and also needs time in your plan.
What needs a separate check
This record does not establish surface, dog access, wheelchair access. Check any of these that affect your group. Current closures, access arrangements and transport are not verified by the route line.

Climbing and descending by section

Use these equal-distance sections to see how climbing and descending are distributed along the stored elevation profile. Distances follow the profile’s recorded direction; walking in reverse swaps ascent and descent and reverses the section order.

How these numbers are calculated

We split the stored profile into three equal distances and interpolate elevation at each boundary. Rising samples count towards ascent; falling samples towards descent. Totals can differ from the headline figures, which may use different smoothing or rounding. Sparse samples, gaps in the source route and elevation-model errors limit accuracy. These are calculations, not surveyed sections, directions or terrain assessments.

Make it fit your day

Your walking-time scenario

Adjust the example pace and allowances to explore your own plan. This calculator uses your inputs, so it may differ from the directory’s headline estimate.

Calculated walking time including your allowances

20 hr 44 min

1171 min for distance + 42 min for ascent + 30 min allowance.

This is an aggregate calculation for a long outing. It does not plan overnight stages, accommodation or recovery.

Formula: distance ÷ pace × 60 + ascent ÷ 100 × climbing allowance + stops. Travel to and from the route is additional. Terrain, descent, weather and navigation are not modelled. These results do not establish route suitability. Read the time-planning guide.

Recorded route measurements

The start and finish differ on this point-to-point route; arrange the return journey before setting out. The mapped distance is 78.1 km (48.5 mi), with 422 m (1,385 ft) of recorded ascent, with 681 m (2,234 ft) of recorded descent. The sampled elevation profile records a maximum grade of about 6%; this is a calculated value and may smooth short, steeper sections. The profile reaches 2,195 m (7,201 ft) from a recorded low of 1,801 m (5,909 ft).

Tips from the trail

  • Open the linked source record before departure to check whether the mapped relation has changed.
  • Save the route line offline; a map download is useful regardless of expected phone coverage.
  • Use 3 days as estimated moving time, then add your own allowance for stops, conditions and daylight.
  • Confirm return transport and its operating hours before starting this point-to-point route.
  • Carry enough food and water for the full route; water availability is not established by the map data.
  • Follow local access rules and leave no litter or food waste behind.

Warnings

  • This guide does not contain live information about closures, hazards, snow, flooding or path condition.
  • The route reaches a recorded elevation of 2,195 m (7,201 ft); obtain a location-specific mountain forecast and check seasonal access.
  • The finish is separate from the start, so a missed transport connection can materially extend the outing.

Safety

Emergency services in United States can be reached on 911. Share your route and expected return time with someone before leaving. The directory has no verified coverage map or live trail-status feed, so do not rely on phone reception or this page alone. Turn around when conditions, access or your remaining time no longer match the plan.

What to bring

  • Footwear suited to the current surface and conditions
  • Weather layers appropriate to the local forecast
  • Offline route map and a backup navigation method
  • Food and water for the planned time plus a reserve
  • Charged phone and a small first-aid kit
  • Head torch and an extra warm layer for a longer outing

Photography

Photo locations are not mapped in the source data for Maverick OHV Trail. Stay on permitted ground, keep clear of edges and moving water, and never block the route while setting up. Check local rules before using a tripod or drone, especially inside protected areas.
