Trail Overview

This trail has several major waterfalls, with at least one requiring the use of a winch. This trail is just over a mile in length, but it doesn't give you much time to "breathe" in-between obstacles. You will encounter boulders, waterfalls, and crevices. Expect to be off-camber. As with most of the harder Arizona trails, Axle Alley is in a dry wash. The trail is Extreme. Extreme beauty, extreme obstacles, extreme fun. Enter the loop from the west in order to go up the obstacles.

Difficulty

Off camber obstacles tend to pitch you into rocks. Some waterfalls over 10 foot require wenching to get past without a rock crawling buggy.

Some of the most insane riding I’ve done to date. Super technical trails and mountains to get over but one you get to the top it’s absolutely beautiful. Me and my buddy both did it on dirt bikes and made it just fine. Highly recommend if your a skilled rider ready for a challenge
