Overview

Located near the small community of Queen Valley, there are numerous OHV trails that lead to all kinds of old foundations, stretches of road and other remnants of times past. This particular route travels past a once-popular group camping area and an abandoned quarry. The camping is really easy to access from the highway, yet far enough away to not disturb you during the night. Wonderful, wide-open​ campsites for groups or just a solo night under the stars, just minutes off the highway. Along the route, you'll be treated to spectacular vistas of the surrounding Superstition Mountains, endless varieties of cactus and if you time it right, the desert flower bloom. As you work your way north, the dramatic southern peaks of the Superstitions fill your windshield. You can take the short but challenging side trip up to the top of the old quarry for a very unique view of the east valley of Phoenix, Arizona.
