Elephant Butte Trail; Queen Valley Arizona

- This is a 13 mile round trip out and back trail in Queen Valley, Arizona. Rolled this on a Sunday and only saw one ATV and a couple of hikers. This trial is primarily on Arizona State Trust Land so you will need a state trust land permit. They are available at www.Land.AZ.Gov and are $15 for individual, and $20 for a family. Permits are good for 12 months (as of May 2022). I have found the State Trust Land a great place to off road and is generally significantly less traveled.
**Prior to entering Arizona State Trust Land, the land on either side of Elephant Butte Road is PRIVATE PROPERTY. DO NOT TRESPASS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE ELEPHANT BUTTE ITSELF IS ALSO ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. PLEASE RESPECT THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP.**
Truly appreciate the fact that you narrate your travels. Love hearing snippets of the history of the areas visited. So many do not and only play music. Would be interesting to learn how you film the different segments. If you're doing it by yourself it seems like a lot of work. Anyway, good job, totally enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching. Appreciate the feedback. I just do this for fun and to show folks the trails. I know when I was just starting to wheel I was trying to find videos of cool places to go. As for my set up, just an action camera nothing crazy. A lot of setting up the shot and going back for the camera and a drone that I have flown into trees on more than one occasion. Hopefully the more videos, the better they get. Lol. We will see.
Thanks for exploring my home town
Thanks for the tour! I gotta get out there!
Yeah, it is a pretty good trail. Towards the end gets rougher and rougher.
My buddies and I are going to go to where you stopped to see if we can all the way to the end. We use to ride the entire trail but since the heavy rains of last winter, the trail seems to have been blocked by a rock slide, The last time we were there, we stopped a short way up the wash from where you turned around. Got real narrow with big boulders. We will try again soon.
Its important to note that state trust land is limited access. Access is only permitted via written permission.
Recreational use of Arizona State Trust Land is permitted with a recreational use permit. These permits are available online at www.Land.AZ.gov.
Watching a lot of your videos. I notice you’re doing a lot of technical work in high range. Not trying to be smart. Been wheeling over 40 years. Much better control in low range and not as hard on the driveline and transmission. Also able to control your decent off the backside of trail obstacles like big rocks.
Yeah, for this kind of trail, portions of it I would at least be in 4-high...
Did you have to go back the way you came or does the trail dump you out on a main road?
It is an out and back trail so yes you have to come back out the same way.
