FS 259

Trail Overview

This two-track winds through open desert landscape as you head back toward the Mazatzal Mountains, offering wide open views of the surrounding ranges and the canyons that cut back into the mountains. The route follows along the edge of a gentle ridge with washes on both sides. The road is a little bumpy in spots but remains mostly flat and easy overall, making it a relaxed and scenic drive. There are a few dispersed camp spots tucked along the route, and the trail eventually dead-ends at a fence and water tank.
