This was an exploration trip into a new area. I joined up with my dad on this one because we both shared a common curiosity for the area. It ended up being a nice day of discovery and four-wheeling. My dad did some metal detecting near Dixon Camp while I went on a loop hike in the hills west of the basin to check out some of the mining history and Indian ruins throughout the area. The ruin sites are extremely old and almost completely buried in thick vegetation. You need a keen eye to even find them. One of the sites I found was not noted on my maps and involved a fair amount of luck. That was cool! The main points of interest around the basin besides the ruins are Dixon Camp and Giacoma Camp.
FR225 makes a loop and comes out near Salt River Peak. The main access into Ruin Basin is high clearance two-wheel drive, however if you want to go beyond Giacoma Camp and drive the loop route of FR225, you will need four-wheel drive. We drove up on numerous washed out segment along De Vore Wash while heading out.
