| Description: |
|
Tax Collector takes off from the main wash to the right up a side wash. It quickly becomes narrow and there is a tight turn which you'll have to navigate. The trail continues up the wash providing you multiple lines to choose from. At the end a road crosses the wash, providing an exit for Tax Collector and a Entrance for Firebird Remember to Tread lightly! |
| How to Get There: |
| Take I-10 West from Phoenix. You
can take either the Jack Rabbit Trail exit or the Miller Road Exit. Take
either road South to Yuma Rd; for Miller Road this is immediately after
the Freeway Overpass. If coming from Jack Rabbit Trail, turn right (West)
onto Yuma Road; if coming from Miller Rd then turn Left (East) onto Yuma
Road. Keep an eye out for Watson Road (Grated Dirt) which will take off to the North (about 1 mile from Miller, 2 miles from Jack Rabbit). Take Watson Road North; it will cross under the freeway. You will come to a sharp turn with some sand hills off in the distance; there is a trail that takes off to the left from the middle of this turn. Take that trail, which will parallel the wash that Appetizer runs in (Appetizer eventually T's into this trail). The trail will cross a medium sized wash, and then runs left of a large wash. There will be a Y intersection with a road that leads through the large wash. You can either drop into the wash at this point, or keep going strait and drop into the wash further up. Either way you'll want to turn left into the large wash and head up it. Keep an eye out for a side wash that takes off from the right. |
