Trail Overview
The Knight Tank Direct Trail is a dirt trail that winds through the creosote and bushes of this section of the Arizona desert. This trail has no major obstacles on it, though it does have one wash crossing that could prove problematic if it keeps eroding and washing out (picture Included). There is the standard erosion and runoff damage along this trail that comes with desert areas being shaped by moisture events over time. There is no cell service on this trail, so offline maps are recommended. This area is also Arizona State Trust Land and requires a permit. The yearly permit can be purchased and printed online. The permit allows 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.
