Trail Overview

The Andrada Tank Loop is a scenic trail that offers breathtaking views of the Sonoran Desert landscape and the nearby Whetstone Mountains. The trail winds through desert terrain featuring prickly pear cacti, ocotillo plants, and rocky outcrops. When driving from the south end of the trail, about one mile into the trail, you will start driving along the ridgelines heading east. This section offers amazing views of the hills and valleys between the Santa Rita Mountains to the west and the Whetstones to the east. Cell service is patchy, so it's recommended to download your map before your trip. The time to complete and the listed difficulty are subject to many factors, including the type of vehicle used and the riders' capabilities.
