Crescent Trail

Trail Overview

Crescent Trail is a short and sweet route that boasts multiple opportunities for pulling off and enjoying the beauty of the desert. With ample dispersed camping spots, it is an inviting option for those looking to spend a night under the stars. The trail is generally easy to navigate, making it accessible for a wide range of vehicles and skill levels. As you make your way along the trail, you'll encounter a few washouts and off-camber sections that add a slight challenge while still maintaining an overall manageable experience. The terrain also features some patches of soft sand, which may require a bit of attentiveness but are typically not too deep. This area is particularly lively and is frequented by hunters and SXS travelers who come to explore the numerous offshoot trails in the region. The diverse activities in the area make it a dynamic destination, offering plenty of chances to discover new paths and sights. Important Note: While traversing Crescent, you can expect about one bar of semi-reliable LTE service from Verizon, which may not be strong enough for consistent connectivity. Always be sure to prepare thoroughly before heading out;obtain your Arizona State Land Trust permit for legal access, and pack enough water and supplies to support your adventure in the desert.
