TRAILS

Temporal Gulch

For starters, this is not among my favorite rides. It is 4 wheel jeep trail up until Walker Basin. Loose, rocky, steep, hot, dusty, no water, difficult downhill, and not that pretty. Not to mention a fairly long drive. Other than that, I guess the ride is OK.

DIRECTIONS: Take the Sonoita turn (83) off of I-10 and go all the way to Sonoita, head right (west) toward Patagonia, immediately after passing Patagonia High School turn right and stay on that dirt road until you get to the Arizona Trail Parking area. Follow the Temporal Gulch road until you get to Walker Basin and then pick up the single track up to the Wilderness Area.

I wish I could say have fun, but only "Rudy" riders will enjoy this (you must have a need to punish yourself physically).

The bottom part of this trail is beautiful

You will see this sign about the time you want to die (the climb)

Here is what most of the ride looks like
