Backroad Travel Naturally, Arizona is an ideal place for backroad travel. With as few paved roads and highways as the state has, many of the most beautiful scenic locals are only accessible by leaving the pavement and heading down a Forest Road. Here are a few of the more common local trips. A Word of Caution Remember to always have plenty of gas and a spare tire on hand. Be sure to bring enough water for all passengers for more than one day. Plan ahead, paying close attention to weather reports. Practice cautious driving and never attempt to cross flooded washes. Remember that a rainstorm several miles away from where you happen to be may have an effect on washes you have crossed. Dry washes at one point in the day can be filled with water upon return. Be careful not to get trapped. If you do get trapped, be smart and wait for the water to subside before attempting to cross the wash. Always research trips and bring along topographical maps of the area you plan to explore. Low Clearance Accessible Trips Four Peaks Wilderness High Clearance Only Trips
