In this episode. My good friend Todd from @Trail89Adventures and I, set out to explore an area of the Gila River. This area is situated close to Florence AZ. On this route you'll encounter plenty of areas and things to explore. There are remanence of the old Cochran Ghost town that was settled in 1905, but was quickly abandoned by 1915. The train trestle you come across is still active today, and runs over the Gila River. We did not walk across the trestle into the tunnel, as it is labeled private property. after this point, there aren't any more man made structures you'll come across (not that I know of anyway), but you'll ride through quite majestic and beautiful desert that consists of very old and tall saguaro cacti. colla, sage brush, and lots of palo verde. The loop itself is not difficult, but you will encounter a couple rock ledges and some soft sand in the washed, so 4wd is recommended.
