West Checker

Trail Overview

West Checker is a two-track dirt and rock trail that has no obstacles on it. This trail is primarily an access trail used predominantly by ranchers and hunters to access the checkerboard of Arizona State Land Trust land and what was once the larger Babbitt Ranch. Along this trail, you might see Antelope, Deer, Elk, Prairie Dog towns, Coyotes, and various species of birdlife. There is no cell service along this trail so you'll want to have offline maps downloaded, as this area is remote and at times rugged. There are numerous other trails in the area that lead North, to the National Forest, or East, toward the windmills and beyond.
