Hidden behind Black Hill, The Flats is precisely as it sounds, a large wide open flat terrain. The highlight of this route is the camping. The easily accessible trail, with its smooth flat ground, is close to a collection of Arizona's best 4x4 trails. In dry conditions, the route can be easily driven in 2WD. The trail can be muddy for weeks during the Winter or after late Summer monsoons. Mud tires and 4WD are needed if you encounter mud. You must obtain an AZ State Land permit to access this area.
