Need to Know
Directions: Rattlesnake Mountain 1 (RM-1) is located on the east side of Old Maverick Road, approximately 3.6 miles from the Maverick Junction. The turnoff for RM-2 campsite is on the right, just before the road descends a steep hill into a wash. The wash will usually flood with a good rain, but access from the north is generally reliable.
The use of generators is prohibited in the backcountry.
Old Maverick Road and the gravel access road are both generally well-maintained and accessible to most vehicles. Old Maverick Road becomes slick and rutted after heavy rains and may require high clearance or 4-wheel drive. Always check current road conditions with a ranger.
