Trail Overview

This side trail takes you on the easier side around the dunes with far less sand. This doesn't mean there is no sand, just less of it. There are still some sandy hills and sections, but they don't last long. The rest of the trails are rocky and dirt, with a few deeper transitions. Be sure to keep an eye out for the really old Saguaro cactus that appears to have choked out a small tree along the route. Here is a hint. It's on a DUNE! This fun way round is full of views. 2bars LTE.

If you are from a place like CA you might enjoy this open ride, but if you are from AZ where there are 1000s of miles of beautiful wide open rollercoaster trails, you will not enjoy this dry, non scenic bumpy ride to no place.
