Lone Pine Divide

Trail Overview

A very enjoyable backcountry Jeep trail from SR 288 (Young Road) just north of Roosevelt Lake back to SR 288 north of Young. This trip stays east of the Sierra Ancha Wilderness and skirts the edge of the Apache Reservation. 16 miles on Cherry Creek Road then 40 miles on Forest Service Road 202, passing over the Lone Pine Divide. Easy road with a few rough stretches. It will not take as long as you might think.Cherry Creek Road is in the higher elevations of the Sonoran Desert, so still has plenty of saguaros. FS 202 rises quickly and soon leaves those behind.

Difficulty

A fairly easy cruise with good views and only occasional challenges
