The vast 2.9 million acres of the Tonto National Forest provide many opportunities to experience everything from the desert floor to the peaks of mountains over 7,000 feet in elevation. Whether you want to run the full Montana Mountain Loop in your off-road vehicle or head to the vast network of hiking trails in the Superstition Wilderness, Rogers Trough will help you fully experience what the Tonto has to offer.
Rogers Trough Trail when connected with the Hewitt Canyon Trail and Happy Camp Road, creates the Montana Mountain Loop OHV route. Here, you will experience the sandy washes and deep canyons of the desert floor. Climb a shelf road that provides vast views of the valley below. As you wrap around the 5,528 ft. Montana Mountain on a narrow rocky trail, you will have multiple dispersed camping opportunities before dropping back down to the desert floor through an array of tight turning switchbacks.
For the hiking enthusiast, Rogers Trough Trailhead at the end of the trail provides access to the Arizona Trail, The Grand Enchantment Trail, West Pinto Trail #212, and Reavis Ranch Trail #109. Hiking north from the trailhead will have you exploring the 160,000-acre Superstition Wilderness, where you may come across the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine.
