Trail Overview
MST&T Road begins at US 95 and leads you to the site of the old MST&T radio tower. The tower is long gone, but the pad remains. The views from the top give you a 360-degree vista of the surroundings. La Paz Valley and the Chocolate Mountains stand to the West. To the South and East, you'll be looking at the Kofa Wilderness, Kofa Peak, and, to the Northeast, the New Water range. The route is a two-lane gravel road that is mostly level and any high clearance vehicle will be fine. The final 1/2 mile climbs to the old tower location and narrows down to a two-track trail with some exposed rocks.

Difficulty
90% of this trail is a 2 rating. The last 1/2 mile gets it to a 3 due to the road narrowing and the final climb to the old tower.
