Hero: Backway to Rock Springs
small-sr Icon

The trail travels through the heart of the beautiful Sonoran Desert, surrounded by towering Saguaro Cactus and classic desert scenery. It features numerous tight twists and turns that wind through washes and hillsides, keeping drivers engaged as they navigate the rugged terrain. Expect a series of steep climbs and descents that add both challenge and excitement while providing excellent views of the surrounding desert landscape.

Serving as a scenic backway to Rock Springs, the route includes a detour designed to avoid private property, so it is important to stay on the established trail. Drivers should remain alert for oncoming traffic, especially around blind corners and narrow sections. Fortunately, there are plenty of pull-offs along the route, making it easy to yield and allow other vehicles to pass safely. The combination of desert beauty, rolling terrain, and remote backcountry travel makes this trail a rewarding adventure for off-road enthusiasts.
