Trail Overview

This wide, well-maintained, gravel road winds through the spectacular CO Bar Ranch/Arizona Land Trust co-managed area. Along the way, you'll drive past SP Mountain and through the lava field that can be seen on the satellite map. You'll need a free ranch access permit which can be obtained online or at the well-marked kiosk located along the road. You will also need an Arizona Land Trust permit if you plan to do more than drive the road. There is no off-road driving permitted but there are a number of forest roads to explore that lead to all sorts of interesting ranch pens, tanks, and even an old homestead!
