March's Highlight

Trail Overview

The south end of March's Highlight boasts a large open grassy area, no doubt the flood plain for Martinez Creek. The creek itself is a fun little area of deep sand wash that will be a fun speed run. There's a long, sandy, narrow uphill section that is fun and somewhat technical, but not too gnarly. Erosion is present along this trail, but nothing out of the ordinary for this area. If you're paying attention, you'll cross right over a spring, spewing water out from deep in the earth. Parts of this trail are on Arizona State Trust Land, which requires a permit that can be accessed and printed online. The permits allow certain recreational activities, including camping, bicycling, bird watching, GPS-based recreational activities (geocaching), hiking, horseback riding, off-highway vehicle (OHV) usage, photography, picnicking, and sightseeing.
