Rating:
Difficult. Several large rock ledges require high ground clearance but the obstacles are not overwhelming because little articulation is required. The hardest obstacle is called “The Steps,” which is driven downhill. This obstacle is very steep and will be intimidating to an inexperienced driver; however, stock SUVs with high ground clearance should be able get down just fine. You may scrape bottom so skid plates are recommended. This trail is very well marked and easy to follow.
This trail is one of 75 trails from the book, Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails, by Charles Wells, and is available at www.funtreks.com. less «

Points of Interest
Pavement for Morgan Road ends. Follow road that says "NO OUTLET." You'll soon come to a parking lot for hikers on the left. Stay right to sign showing regulations. A bump has been created to stop cars from continuing..
Trail continues to left. Road on right deadends at interesting "Devils Dining Room."
After several points where the trail splits into one-way section, you'll reach an important fork. Do not go right. This is a one-way trail that you'll drive on the way out. Stay left and you'll loop around in a clockwise direction.
Bear left here to take an interesting and more difficult side trip to Submarine Rock. Return to this spot and continue left around loop.
Stay left to visit beautiful "Chicken Point." On the right is an alternative one-way route you can drive on the way back. It has a difficult obstacle called the "Steps"and is the most interesting part of Broken Arrow. If the difficult does not appeal to you, you can return the same way you came in, a two-way route.
Beautiful scenery at "Chicken Point." Turn around here and go back to Point #5. Then decide if you want to stay left and take the difficult one-way route, or stay right and go out the easier way you came in.
Swing right at the bottom of "The Steps," and return to Point #3 you passed earlier. Bear left at Point #3 to return to start.
