Location Type: Public Access
Details: You can find general agate at this location according to
this website. I suggest going there for more details and safety precautions. There is a picture of the rocks found.
Directions: Here are the directions from the website:
"From Interstate 40 at Williams take exit 161 and head south. From this point drive 1.4 miles and turn right onto South 4th Street. You will be travelling south on this paved road winding through Ponderosa Pine and then down into the Verde Valley. At 24.5 miles (just past Drake Road) the pavement will end, then at 2.9 miles you will come to a fork, bear right. At 5.5 miles you will cross a bridge that crosses the Verde River. (very scenic area) 6.9 miles past the bridge park along the side of the road. Here you will find agate scattered along the hillside and an old pit mine at the end of a faint road to the west of where you parked. (about .5 miles up the hill from the main road)". I'm not even going to try to find that spot on Google Earth.

Hi georangler, Thanks for the compliment! I hope your trip goes well. I checked the website link out posted in the details and this is what it said: "Most of the unpaved roads in this area can be travelled on in a passenger car, but if you plan on making a cross country trip bring extra provisions and make sure your vehicle is in good shape as breaking down here and getting towed out would take some time."
