9067 State Trust

Trail Overview

This is a nice, easy dirt trail that connects BLM land to a square of State Trust Land. This trail runs the length of the State Trust Land, ending or beginning at a private neighborhood depending on how you run it. This route can be very muddy when wet. There are some narrower sections where the bushes are overgrown slightly, which will cause some paint damage. Mostly, this trail is wide open dirt with lots of saguaro cacti and desert wildlife in the area. There is no AT&T cell service. It would be advisable to download your offline maps before heading out into this area of trails. Pack lots of extra water and supplies in case of a breakdown. Few other people are exploring this quiet part of the desert. If you're lucky and it has been a wet winter, you will be rewarded with an explosion of color from the desert wildflowers.

Difficulty

This route is easy to track in a wide-open desert. There are places here and there to pull off and allow for oncoming to pass should you encounter any. Be aware of when it last rained to avoid dealing with large amounts of mud and tearing up the trail.
