Ehrenberg to Diablo Pass

Trail Overview

This track crosses the Colorado River Indian Tribe Lands, so YOU NEED a CRIT sticker before riding this trail. You will travel from Ehrenberg, at the Colorado River, to Diablo Pass, going through the Plomosa Mountains. The CRIT sticker can be purchased at the CRIT office in Parker, AZ. It's $25 a year, and well worth the fee because if you're caught riding without it, they can confiscate your rig. This area of the desert in SW Arizona is a good place to see wild horses and burros and donkeys. You might also run across a coyote, a roadrunner, or see quail. It's always a good idea to be aware of rattlesnakes in this area. Diablo Pass will take you back to the east towards Quartzsite. Just south of Ehrenberg, be sure to check out the Ehrenberg Sandbowl OHV area. The trails in this area of AZ are numerous. If you're properly licensed (CRIT sticker and AZ sticker), you can ride for miles without seeing very many people. The desert is covered with multiple kinds of cacti, and if the monsoon rains happened, they might even be in bloom. Both lunch and fuel can be purchased in Ehrenberg. This track goes across the desert, where it's fairly flat. You will be in and out of washes, and then you cross the Plomosa Mountains. Bring a camera. Driftwood, cactus, and wildlife make great photos.
