Shoemaker Connector

This 1.7-mile segment of trail runs north-south between 3197 and the Quail Springs Loop in this primitive OHV area near New River, Arizona. This trail is more of a main thoroughfare compared to Shoemaker Springs. It's a wider, well-used road that has some challenges such as deep ruts filled in with loose rocks, and some steeper climbs and descents that are rocky and more technical. Parts of the trail are uneven and off-camber, with embedded rock faces and wash crossings. Some of the harder parts are the steep spots that are full of rocks, some tighter corners, and some bigger off-camber ruts. It has really nice wide open views of the saguaro-filled hills in this area.
