Overview

Have you ever wanted to stand in three states at once? Well, pack up your 4x4 and head out into the Arizona desert to plant your feet at the state line junction for Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. In November 2016, an updated marker was installed, way out in the desert to signify their meeting point. This long 4x4 trail will take you right to the point where you'll find a decorative placard and flags from all three states. While there are a couple of ways to get to the monument, this route is the straightest way there, and it offers a couple of mild challenges for stock 4x4's. The trail travels up a large mesa above the town of Mesquite, where you'll have beautiful panoramas of the town and surrounding mountains. The trail accesses numerous other trails that can be combined for a truly enjoyable all-day adventure in the desert.
