We will ride along the Sonoqui wash from Horseshoe Park overflow lot to the Desert Wells Stage Stop. There are is one road crossing at Hawes Road, and we will have QCPD there for safety. We will cross under Chandler Heights bridge and there may be some water present.
Past Trailrides
The Kickoff Trail Ride is an all ages, all abilities ride, so we ask that equines only walk – no loping or running – and that all riders stay behind the ride leader.
Sometimes there is water in Sonoqui Wash and often wildlife.
There are no facilities on the ride and we pass under the Chandler Heights bridge.
