Trail Overview
Burton Tank is a quick trail with no obstacles on it. There is a major wash crossing but it appears to have been graded and smoothed as of early March 2024. There are cattle in the area, so caution is urged, but the majority of this trail is smooth and safe. There are large grassy areas that would be great for campsites, provided you don't mind the odd cow that will surely be curious about your presence. There are 2 bars of Verizon service along this trail. This route is on Arizona State Trust Land and requires a yearly permit that can be purchased and printed online. The permits allow certain recreational activities, including camping, bicycling, bird watching, GPS-based recreational activities (geocaching), hiking, horseback riding, off-highway vehicle (OHV) usage, photography, picnicking, and sightseeing.
