The Arizona Peace Trail (AZPT) is a 675+ mile off-highway vehicle loop trail and trail system located on the western side of Arizona. The trail reaches from Yuma, AZ on the south to Bullhead City, AZ on the north while passing through Mohave, La Paz, and Yuma counties. Along the trail, the AZPT passes through some of the most unique and picturesque landscapes in the United States.

The AZPT passes through towns large and small as well towns deserted after mining activities came to a halt. The AZPT is open to motorized and non-motorized recreation, however, this atlas focuses on motorized use of the trail.

Rider Notes: Throughout this work we use the abbreviation AZPT to refer to the trail that is commonly referred to the Arizona Peace Trail. When we use the terms Arizona Peace Trail, Inc we are referring to the nonprofit entity that represents a coalition made up of individuals, clubs, business, and other organizations that support the development, marketing, and definition of the Arizona Peace Trail.

The AZPT provides an off-highway vehicle experience unlike any other in the United States. The AZPT travels through rolling deserts full of saguaro cactus, red rock landscapes, windy sand washes, narrow canyons barely wide enough for vehicles and mountain passes that reach over 7000 ft. in elevation. The off-highway vehicle enthusiast will enjoy a trail full of excitement and challenges from easy graded dirt roads to moderate rated trails that once carried miners’ dreams of striking it rich, and difficult trails that will challenge those with even the best driving skills. The AZPT is full of fun terrain variations, picturesque landscapes, historical sites, and a vast variety of plants and wildlife many of which can found nowhere else on Earth. The AZPT offers recreation opportunities for all types of off-highway vehicles. Dual sport bikes, Motocross bikes, ATVs, ROVs, UTVs, highly modified 4x4s, and even stock SUVs will find the AZPT a fun and rewarding recreational experience. // 17 //

Arizona Peace Trail Atlas - The Definitive Guide to the Ultimate Off-Highway Vehicle Adventure

What is the Arizona Peace Trail?

Introduction / History

How the Trail was Designated The goal of the AZPT is to develop a sustainable OHV trail system that can support recreational opportunities for all off-highway vehicle types as well as non-motorized recreation such as hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and more. The team at Arizona Peace Trail, Inc. had only a couple of other models for such a project to look at for reference. The team studied the Piute Trail System in southern Utah, the Alpine Loop in Colorado, and the Hatfield McCoy Outlaw trail system in West Virginia as well as a few others from around the United States. Each of these trail systems is unique in its own way but the situation in Arizona would be different because of the vast amount of BLM land and the unique landscape, ruggedness of the deserts, and elevation changes present in western Arizona.

The team at Arizona Peace Trail, Inc. started defining the route at its first meeting by looking at a collection of trails used by the

various OHV clubs. Over the course of several meetings, the team eventually agreed upon a route that would utilize existing trails and dirt roads to create a loop approximately 675 miles long.

Essential to the route planning process was the need for the trail to connect the various towns and communities that are essential for trail support of requirements such as fuel, food, lodging, and maintenance. The route planners where able to connect the communities of Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City, Bouse, Quartzsite, Cibola, Martinez Lake, Yuma, Wellton, Dateland, Salome, Wayside (Alamo Lake), Wickiup and Kingman.

Once the route was established the team would then need to get the support of the various land management agencies. The largest land manger which the AZPT crosses is BLM. The team would then immediately start working with BLM to get the route approved as part of

While working with BLM, the team was also working with La Paz County on designating parts of dirt county roads as part of the AZPT. In early 2015, La Paz County received a grant from Yamaha Corporation’s Outdoor Initiative Program to install the first Arizona Peace Trail sign just outside Bouse, AZ.

In the fall of 2015, La Paz County received a grant from the Arizona State Parks and Trails OHV Program to build the first AZPT staging area in community of Cibola in an area along the Colorado River commonly known as Hippie Hole. In the meantime, Mohave and Yuma Counties are also working to install route signs along their respective county roads that are part of the AZPT. The Town of Quartzsite is installing signs on their city streets and roads and are in the planning phase of building a dedicated staging area on town land.

The Arizona Peace Trail, Inc is also working closely with the Arizona Department of Transportation to identify the safest possible highway crossings and is exploring the idea of having AZPT signs installed along Arizona roads and highways to direct users to the trail.

As the trail continues to develop, the team at Arizona Peace Trail, Inc realized that it would be necessary to create a Master Plan for the entire trail system.

With funding provided by the Arizona State Parks and Trails through the Arizona OHV Sticker program, Arizona Peace Trail, Inc hired the planning firm of Logan Sinpson Design, Inc in Tempe, AZ to build a master plan for the AZPT in 2017. The master plan will designate staging areas and other amenities, and will be used as a vital planning tool by the various communities and land managers along the trail, and enable them to obtain grant funding for the development of facilities along the AZPT. The AZPT Master Plan is expected to be completed in the second half of 2018.

the agency’s Travel Management Plan (TMP) process. Alignment with the TMP process would be necessary to ensure that the trail designations would fit within environmental regulations and ensure alignment with future plans for existing trails and routes on BLM land. Note that as of this version of the atlas, the TMP process on BLM land is ongoing in western Arizona.

Introduction / History

Signage and Markings

Logo Variations

The AZPT logo was updated in 2016. Users of the AZPT will notice a mixture of the old logo and the new logo on signage along the trail as well as on pamphlets, t-shirts, social media, and other materials generated

by Arizona Peace Trail, Inc. To date, more than 200 miles of roads and highways in La Paz and Mohave counties have been signed or marked with AZPT logos. Portions of the trail within BLM’s La Posa Travel Management Plan (TMP) area have also been signed.

There are currently 5 kiosks installed with information about the AZPT. For the unsigned portions of the trail, this atlas will act as a guide to help users navigate the trail. Users of the AZPT should also check the materials provided by Arizona Peace Trail Inc, on their website at arizonapeacetrail.org under the trail resources section.

for each. The trail ratings for the AZPT were developed based on feedback from agency stakeholders, OHV clubs, and individual riders with decades of experience in the area.

Additionally, the team considered other trail system rating criteria. In general, most segments of the AZPT are rated as “easy” with a few rated as “moderate.” No segment of the AZPT trail is identified as “difficult”, however; there are many difficult trails contained within the connector, bypass, and spur trails mentioned in this atlas. Users are encouraged to study the available resources including connecting with local experts before attempting to transverse the AZPT. The following trail ratings are provided to help users understand what they will encounter along the AZPT.

The AZPT offers access for several popular modes of motorized transportation, including 4-wheel drive vehicles, UTVs, ATVs, and motorcycles. The individual segments of the AZPT possess various levels of difficulty, with surface conditions ranging from paved roadways, graded dirt roads, and two track trails. In some instances, segments consist of relatively flat surfaces that are easily negotiated by all vehicles. However, the AZPT also has segments that are characterized as having portions that are steep, rocky, uneven, and/or narrow and may be more appropriate for skilled, experienced riders and specific vehicle types with specialized equipment. Trail ratings are provided for each individual AZPT segments and current trail conditions, perceived difficulty, and vehicle types considered appropriate

NOTE: Trail ratings are highly subjective. A trail that is easy for an experienced rider with a highly modified vehicle may be impassable for a novice driver in a stock vehicle. Weather conditions may also significantly affect the difficulty of a trail. In addition, the difficulty of a trail may change over time, as trail use, weather, and maintenance modify it. It is recommended that riders check with land managers and/or recent rider reports on the Arizona Peace Trail, website and social media before planning a trip on a segment. Additionally, riders are encouraged to scout ahead on foot if current conditions are unknown or look beyond the skill set of the least experienced rider in your group. // 25 //

AZPT Off-highway Vehicle Trail Ratings

Easy Trails

E-1 An E-1 trail is considered to have gentle, wide grades that are highly accessible by stock OHVs . The trail is wide enough for vehicles to pass. The trail would be a 2-wheel drive under most conditions, with the potential for rain or snow creating 4-wheel drive a necessity. Surfaces can consist of paved highways or county roads or graded gravel, dirt, and sand with mildly rocky surfaces. An E-1 trail is typically dry but can include areas with less than 3 inches of water crossing depth. Some ruts and small rocks (less than 5 inches) may be embedded in road surface. Slight grades up to 10 degrees may be present with some steeper grades possible.

// 26 //

E-3

Trails have gentle, wide grades that are highly accessible by stock OHVs, but passing spots for two vehicles are less frequent. These trails are dirt roads, which are occasionally graded or maintained. The trail would be passable with 2-wheel drive under good conditions, but 4-wheel drive is recommended in rainy or snowy conditions and there is a greater potential for rougher surface conditions. The trail may have some rocks, loose surfaces, and features with obstacles that are easy to navigate, and adequate ground clearance and skill is recommended. Trails cross sandy washes and sections may be rough (washboards). An E-2 trail is typically dry but can have areas with less than a 6-inch water crossing depth and passable muddy areas. Rocks (between 5 to 9 inches) may be embedded in road surface, with ruts being a reasonable line for driving.

Slight grades up to 10 degrees may be present with steeper grades possible.

Users on an E-3 trail should expect rough, rutted, and/or rocky surface conditions. Trail conditions are more suitable to 4-wheel vehicles with aggressive tire treads requiring low tire pressure when passing through rocky and sandy sections. No shelving conditions are expected and rocks (up to 9 inches) may be embedded in road surface. Substantial sections of the trail may be restricted to a single travel lane, but wider trail sections are frequently available for passing. An E-3 trail may require the crossing of inundated washes, with water crossings less than hub-deep on vehicles.

Grades up to 15 degrees may be present with steeper grades possible.

Weather

Arizona Peace Trail Atlas - The Definitive Guide to the Ultimate Off-Highway Vehicle Adventure

The deserts of western Arizona can reach temperatures of well over 110 degrees in the months of June, July, and August. In addition, the months of July and August bring the annual monsoon thunderstorms which can produce dangerous cloud to ground lightening and flash floods through many of the washes along the AZPT route. Many businesses along the AZPT are not open or have limited hours during the hot summer months. The higher elevation sections of the AZPT, especially when the trail reaches the 7,000ft elevation mark in the Hualapai Mountains, can contain snow in the winter months. Users of the of the AZPT are encouraged to check the latest weather conditions daily when traveling on the AZPT.

// 37 //

About Arizona

Fires Be aware of the possibility of fires. The desert areas are often very dry and can be ignited with the smallest of sparks. Watch for smoke when you are at higher points along the trail, fires move quickly through the dry brush of the desert and can change directions quickly depending on wind conditions.

Water Water in the desert areas of Arizona is scarce but can be present at times. No matter how cool, clear, or refreshing a watering hole might look, never drink the water without boiling it, using a filter or iodine tablets. Be sure to carry plenty of drinking water when on the AZPT.

Off-highway Vehicle Laws and Regulations

Arizona Peace Trail Atlas - The Definitive Guide to the Ultimate Off-Highway Vehicle Adventure

Arizona has some of the friendliest OHV laws in the United States. As per Arizona state law, any vehicle is an OHV when operated off the highway. Some of the more common OHVs include ATVs, UTVs (sometimes called side-by-side), dirt bikes, and 4x4s. In general, OHVs operating on unimproved roads on public and state trust land and having an unladen weight of 1,800 pounds or less and/or an engine greater than 50 cc must obtain a vehicle title and properly display an OHV decal. The ADOT Motor Vehicle Division is responsible for issuing titles, license plates, and OHV decals for Arizona residents. In the spring of 2018, a legislation change related to the use of off-highway by non-residents was signed into law by the Governor of Arizona. While the implementation date of the new law is unclear as of the publication of this atlas, the law does require non-residents to obtain an OHV decal while using an off-highway vehicle in Arizona. For the latest information on resident and non-resident laws and regulations related to OHVs, go to www.azgfd.gov/ohv.

// 39 //

About Arizona

Law Enforcement Currently, the AZPT route is served by a variety of law enforcement agencies. The AZGFD employs OHV enforcement officers that patrol the AZPT and the trails surrounding the area. In addition, the local sheriff’s office from Mohave, La Paz, and Yuma counties as well as any city and town police departments can enforce the OHV laws and regulations. Users of the AZPT are encouraged to understand the local laws and regulations of off-highway vehicle travel.

Planned Closures Several of the segments of the AZPT are subject to closure because of planned closures. The currently known planned closures are the first week of January and first week of February, Segments 26: Bouse to Midway and 27: Midway to Planet Ranch can be impacted by the Parker 250 and Parker 425 off road races in the area. Furthermore, Segment 07: Alamo Lake and Segment 27: Midway to Planet Ranch may be closed due to high water conditions at their respective Bill Williams River crossings during the late winter/early spring months. Users are advised to check the AZPT website at arizonapeacetrail.org for the latest information on closures along the route. // 40 //

Most of the AZPT is in very remote areas. In the event of a medical emergency or equipment mechanical failure it is likely to require traveling significant distances to reach a cell phone signal or to reach help. Never travel the AZPT alone and always let a friend/family member know where you are going and when you expect to return. Users of the AZPT are encouraged to pack the following items at a minimum for safety.

Trail Resources

Ways to Navigate the AZPT While riding the AZPT, using a digital Global Positioning System (GPS) is highly recommended.

AGENCIES

Using the AZPT Atlas

Key Definitions and Terms Used on Atlas Maps The Arizona Peace Trail is made up of 34 segments, each of which has a dedicated set of pages in the maps section of this guide. To best understand the maps and the symbology used, it is important to note the following definitions and terminology are used throughout the map pages.

Bypasses, Alternates, Spurs, and Connector Trails In addition to the core 34 segments of the AZPT, there are almost endless miles of trail bypasses, alternates, and connector routes identified in the map pages of this atlas. These routes are not officially part of the AZPT but are frequented by the riders along the AZPT to reduce route lengths, access local communities with services such as gas and lodging, and to adjust to trail conditions such as planned closures. These routes are provided in this guide for context, to aide in navigation, and to provide additional recreation opportunities to riders of the AZPT. The authors make no guarantee as to the condition or legality of any of the trails in this atlas. When traveling off the AZPT route it is important to only travel on existing routes, trails, and roads and to honor all no trespassing signs as posted.

The following definitions where used when categorizing the network of trail bypasses, alternates, and connector routes shown in the maps of this atlas.

Bypass – a trail or route that can be used to avoid a portion of the AZPT because of a planned closure or for a rider to avoid a specific obstacle along the trail.

Alternate – a trail or route that can be used instead of the AZPT route. Alternates are generally used when riders choose to visit specific towns or points of interest that are not along the AZPT. In addition, alternatives can be used when riders have mechanical issues and need to access to an area with more services than traveling along the core AZPT route.

Connector – a trail or route that can be used to access the AZPT from a populated area or can be used to significantly reduce the miles of the AZPT into smaller segments. A connector is often used by riders to make a day loop involving the AZPT. Spur – trail or route to access a town for supplies or to a point of interest (mine, vista, etc.). In general, a spur trail is an out and back off the main AZPT route.

// 58 //

Points of Interest A Point of Interest (POI) is a specific point along or near the AZPT that a user may find useful or interesting. POIs in the AZPT Atlas are grouped into these general categories:

Mechanical – those locations that provide general mechanical and parts services for vehicles. Many of the locations featured in the atlas cater to off-highway vehicles including 4x4s, ATVs, UTVs, and Motorcycles. If you need mechanical services while on the AZPT, look for these businesses and mention you are traveling the AZPT for discounts.

Kiosk – a unique type of navigation aid that general is placed at a major entry point to an area. A kiosk will often contain information specific to the general area including trail closures, local rules, and other regulations that riders should be aware of.

Cultural/Sightseeing – these locations represent the location of interesting artifacts or recreational opportunities. Examples of these POIs include mines, ghost towns, cemetery, photo spots and petroglyphs.

// 59 //

Medical – medical facilities that provide urgent care and hospital services.

Conveniences – those features that provide items such as food/beverage, fuel, etc. Examples of conveniences include truck stops, fuel and food marts, fast food restaurants, and diners. Many of the convenience POIs featured in the Atlas have been selected because they provide several services in a single location to help riders minimize stops.

Navigation Aid – those locations which help riders navigate along the AZPT. Common types of navigation aids include major trail or road intersections, historical markers, cattle guards, mountain pass summits, and gates.

Ranger Station/Visitor Info – these locations provide maps and other information to visitors in the area. Often the staff at these facilities can provide detailed maps or other information about the area surrounding the AZPT. The locations featured in the Atlas are familiar with the AZPT and as such can often answer questions that riders may have about traveling the trail.
