Trail Overview
Paisano's Pathway is a rugged, one-lane desert trail that winds through rolling hills and iconic saguaro-studded landscapes. The route features rocky sections, erosion, and ruts that add some challenge to the drive. Named for the Paisano Wash, there are wash crossings in this area, but no major obstacles exist on this trail. Off-camber stretches require careful navigation, especially in tighter areas. With varied terrain and scenic desert views, this trail offers an engaging off-road experience. Cell service is spotty, so please be sure to have offline maps downloaded before heading out.
