Sonoran Flats

Trail Overview

This is a short route through the BLM land north of Palomas, Arizona. It is unmarked, but has lots of tracks to follow. It is mostly just a road-width route across flat and barren desert terrain. It rides at the base of a rugged mountain range, but stays in the flat valley the whole time, riding through creosote bushes and mesquite trees. The ground is mostly smooth, with a few shallow ruts and loose rocks. A couple of times, it's easy to lose track of the route because the tracks get swept away, especially because there are some unmarked splits in the track, so a GPS map is very helpful to have. The west end of the trail spurs off the main track and goes a bit further out towards the mountains. Enjoy the view here before getting back on the main track.
