Trail Overview

This is an alternate route through the Hidden Shores section of the Arizona Peace Trail. One can stock up on supplies in the store as they pass through. Mostly it's easy and paved except once on dirt. It kicks off with a sandy section with deep sand, then transitions to a super steep hill climb with off-camber and rocky sections. It then links up in the deep sand at the main AZPT trail. 3 bars 5G.

Security guard at Hidden Shores wouldn’t let me through. Didn’t really seem to know what he was talking about, showed him the map. Wasn’t going to argue with the guy
