Round Hill Road - FR224

Trail Overview

The trail features low-hanging branches, making it likely that taller vehicles will experience significant pinstriping. While the route is generally straightforward, it does include a deep-cut wash with an off-camber section that can be challenging for longer vehicles with low departure and approach angles. Those with such setups should proceed cautiously, as getting stuck is a real possibility. This trail should not be attempted after rainfall, as the conditions can become treacherous. It intersects with the main road to Arivaca, but camping is prohibited along the route. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the two watering holes along the trail, which provide excellent opportunities for viewing animals in their natural habitat. The trail lacks amenities such as trash disposal, water supply, and limited cell service.
