Trail Overview
The north end of this trail starts north of Highway 60 and enters a couple of tunnels to go under the highway. The overhead clearance in the tunnels was really low, so watch your head. The northern half of the trail goes through a sand wash with deep sand and curvy, narrow sections in between oak trees and paloverde and creosote bushes. There are a couple of giant boulders lining the wash and lots of saguaros, making it pretty scenic. There are lots of split lines in the wash that are unmarked, so it’s very helpful to have a map. The trail exits the wash onto a road section of trail near the southern end. There are no trail markings or signs for width designations in this system, which is an extensive network of primitive desert trails with endless intersections.
