CampingDay ride
Narrow slot canyon of polished rock and sand between Florence and Cottonwood Canyon Road. The best short technical ride near Phoenix. Mostly sandy wash with a few ledges; flash-flood risk in monsoon. Combine with the Florence–Kelvin Highway and Martinez Cabin for a loop. Popular with Jeeps on weekends.
