Trail Overview
The road is maintained up to the entrance gate for Arizona State Land, where a permit is required for access. Beyond the gate, the road becomes rocky and unmaintained. As you continue, the terrain grows increasingly off-camber, and a deep wash demands the use of four-wheel drive. Significant erosion is present along the main track, but it is passable with a capable 4x4. There are two diversions that make it easier to bypass the worst sections. The route passes through striking scenery, including a private residence with its own airstrip. There are no amenities such as trash disposal, water, or dispersed camping, and cell service is limited.
