Trail Overview
This is a scenic drive through the Santa Rita Mountains that gets you up and out of the desert and into the oaks. Great views along the way! Coming from the east side of the mountains, it tops out behind the community of Greaterville and brings you back out to Highway 83. From there, you can head south to the town of Sonoita or back north to I-10.

Smooth dirt road, slick around the turns at elevation. Steep embankments with little room for error. Nice cut from Green Valley to Sonoita. Steepish grades to mountain top
