Zsa1259

Zsa1259 is a section of powerline road featuring a “rollercoaster” style route with lots of bumps and whoops—take it slow, as hitting the bottoms of the hills too fast can damage your vehicle. The trail offers scenic views of Mount Graham, Weber Peak, and the nearby mine. This short section connects to Zsa1258 and Sa1059, crossing a large wash that can be hazardous in bad weather. The trail includes deep ruts, a steep hill, and a sharp left turn—missing it could lead to a cliff, so navigate carefully. 2WD is possible, but high clearance is recommended for the ruts and a very narrow culvert near the end (hazard documented in photos). The trail eventually transitions into another route leading out to North Phelps Dodge Road, lined with desert creosote and desert grasses. Slow, careful driving is essential, especially over ruts, wash crossings, and technical turns.
