Trail Overview
This powerline trail provides access to the West Silverbell Mountain Loop from the Sawtooth Mountain Loop. Other side trails give access to the Silverbell Sasco loop as well. This is a massive backcountry area with many unmapped trails, very few crowds, and an abundance of Sonoran desert flora and fauna, including a variety of lizards darting across the trail. There is a cattle fence along the border of Pinal and Pima Counties, but there are trails along each side of it with at least a handful of crossing spots.
