Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (ABDSP) is a state park located within the Colorado Desert of southern California, United States. The park takes its name from 18th century Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and borrego, the Spanish word for bighorn sheep.[1] With 600,000 acres (240,000 ha) that includes one-fifth of San Diego County, ABDSP is the largest state park in California and, after New York‘s Adirondack Park, the second largest in the contiguous United States. The park occupies eastern San Diego County and reaches into Imperial and Riverside counties, enveloping two communities: Borrego Springs (home of the park headquarters) and Shelter Valley.
This is an easy, family-friendly trail. Explore a small, busted dam on the upper reaches of Pinto Creek. Visit the site of an old land dispute, and try and find remains of the bulldozed house. If time allows, visit an overlook with sweeping vistas of the mountains of central Arizona

Jack Handle is about a 6 hr or so to drive for an experienced, well equipped group of say 5-6 trucks from the trail head, plus several hours to and from the trail.
Expect about a 9-10 hr day minimum to run it out and back if everything goes smooth. Any more trucks or any issues on the obstacles and that could easily go much higher.
Non-experienced drivers or trucks without the needed mods would make it a real headache to get through in a reasonable time frame. Add the high potential for vehicle damage and the trail should really only be considered for club runs of suitably prepared people/vehicles with plenty of time.
Cottonwood Canyon Road starts out at Highway 79 south of Florence Junction and goes east though Cottonwood Canyon into the into rugged country that lies south of Superior. This is an area dotted with numerous old mines and Arizona desert mountain scenery.
Once in you are a short distance from Box Canyon, Mineral Mountain Road, or the hard core Ajax Mine trail and Woodpecker trails. Suitable for stock vehicles that want to get back into the rougher mountain areas without too much difficulty.
Scenic trail located in the Pinal mountains south of Globe. Sweeping vistas and pine trees await in the upper elevations. Snow is possible during the winter months. Pinal Peak climbs to 7,838 feet (2,389.02 meters) above sea level.
N 33.28228 and W -110.821221.
Family friendly trail with plenty of stops. Visit the ruins of the town of Pinal, view deep wagon tracks carved in the rock long ago and visit caves that were used by Indians and more recently by miners as shelter.
