Desert Wells Multiuse Area, Arizona |
| DESCRIPTION |
This large area has miles and miles of very flat terrain. There are some marked trails, but they are really just smooth wide jeep roads with occasional dips into the sand washes. It is also very dusty here, but there is some interesting vegetation and you may see a few cows near the small pond. There are multiple access points and a recreation permit is required.
