Aubrey Cliffs
Cliff Dramatic sandstone cliffs along western Arizona escarpment
How to Get to Aubrey Cliffs #
From Kingman, Arizona, drive north on US-93 then west on County Road 19 into the Aubrey Valley; many access points are on unpaved roads-high-clearance vehicles recommended. The cliffs span remote country between I-40 and the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument; allow extra time for slow gravel sections and check local road conditions before setting out.
Tips for Visiting Aubrey Cliffs #
- Go early in the morning for cooler temperatures and the best light on the cliffs' stratified faces.
- Use a high-clearance vehicle if leaving paved roads; cell service is intermittent-carry a paper map and water.
- Watch for sudden gusts along the rim and stay well back from the edge; the sandstone can undercut and crumble.
- Binoculars reveal bands of basalt and ash-flow tuff; bring them to pick out distant buttes and pronghorns.
Best Time to Visit Aubrey Cliffs #
Best visited in spring or fall for mild temperatures and clear skies; summer can be very hot and winter brings snow and icy roads.
