- This is our trip report for the two-day, one night overland trip in the Mammoth, Arizona area. We did this trip with the Offroad Passport® Club in April of 2022. This trip links up three trails. All three are in the Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails FunTreks Guidebook.
We started day one on the Smelter Wash Trail, and then hop onto the Holy Joe Rim Trail to set up camp in the wash for the night. The next day, we head out to Highway 77 and run the Tucson Wash Trail.
SIDE NOTE: Highway 76 (State Route 76) in the video is now known as Veterans Memorial Highway. State Route 76 was a short state highway in eastern central Arizona, United States that connected State Route 77 and San Manuel with a detached southern segment connecting Pomerene to Benson. In 1974, the section of SR 76 between SR 77 and San Manuel Mine was retired from the state highway system and handed over to Pinal County. This reduced the length of SR 76 to 11.16 miles. The short section of SR 76 that was completed near San Manuel was decommissioned as a state highway in 1988.

Dang that looks like fun.
Nice work my friends! Always such a joy to have you three on our trips! Love the videos and commentary - keep’em coming!
@4x4tographer Thank you so much for watching and your support Ryan! We love going on trips with you and the ORP crew! Looking forward to our next outing!
Jupiter Ascending you mean? Never heard of it but looks interesting lol
Awesome job! It was fun riding with you. Sorry bout the camera. =)
Thank you! Oh, no camera was harmed! It was just funny how close it got, I was really planning ahead for the line you might take, and you totally did it! All good!
Fun to watch! I can't believe you saw a Gila Monster, I think I've only seen one or two ever out in the desert. They are very reclusive. Keep the content coming!
Thanks for watching!
We’re down here in Pima County would like to go out with you guys? Thanks.
You kept saying "highway 76" are you sure it's 76 and not 77? I don't see a highway 76 anywhere around Mammoth or Copper Creek Road.
Thanks for pointing that out. We just went with what the guidebook calls it. But Highway 76 is also known on Google Map as Veterans Memorial Highway. It runs through San Manuel. The concrete underpass is south of Highway 77 and north of the airport at 32.6393667, -110.6710282. But you are right, the Highway 76 name seems to be not very common. I will make a note in our description and blog post. Thanks for watching!
I just found some fun info on Highway 76!
