Some of the most notable off road trails in this region are located in the Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran Desert is a harsh, rugged subtropical region with the largest diversity of biological life found on the planet.

Biological life not only survives in the harsh conditions of the Sonoran Desert, but they actually thrive. Many have evolved to have specialized adaptations for the desert climate. The uniqueness of this diversity provides an unsurpassed off road driving experience that cannot be found anywhere else on the planet!
Being the Grand Canyon State, most tourist and natives alike miss the beauty of the Arizona Strip or North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The Arizona Strip is the northern section of Arizona that is cut off geographically from the rest of the state. It covers approximately 1 million acres of remote plateaus, plains, mountains, cliffs, and canyons. It’s a strange transition zone where the Mohave Desert, Great Basin, and Colorado Plateau connect. And it is a spectacular place where all visitors must respect the remote location, lack of water, and absence of facilities. But for those willing to brave these challenges, it’s a unique land with a startling array of plant, animal, geologic resources that contrasts greatly from the low-lying Sonoran Desert.
The purpose of ArizonaTrailways.com is to provide a resource to people who wish to explore the biological diversity and interesting history of Arizona while enjoying some of the world’s best off-road trails.
