Trail Overview
This fun ridge trail cruises along the ridge tops until it ends at a single Saguaro cactus on a hilltop overlooking East Yuma and the Fortuna Foothills. The trail offers spectacular views of the valley and a decent turnaround point at the end. There are a few steeper loose climbs on the way up that may challenge a stock 4x4 without airing down. It's a great little test of ability to the top and enjoy the views. Taking in one of Arizona's legendary sunsets would be perfect for doing in this spot. There's plenty of Verizon cell service.
