Lousy Canyon Ruins

GPS planning file and map.

The Lousy Canyon Group of ruins are located in the Agua Fria National Monument near Black Canyon City, Arizona. One of the 9 pueblo style ruins is composed of 60-80 individual rooms. Ruin #4 is sometimes labeled Lousy Fort. To get there, take I-17 Exit 259, follow the Bloody Basin Road for 10.9 miles, and turn right onto FR 14. Continue for another 2.8 miles and turn right. Drive for 6.9 miles and begin hiking. It should be less than a mile and a half to the 2 ruins that are on the north rim of Lousy Canyon.

Included with this post is the GPS file and map that we plan to use for our first visit. If you don't want to wait for us to get around to it feel free to try the GPS file and map for yourself. With no guarantee, of course, but they most often prove valuable for us.
