The Sonoran Desert National Monument is in south central Arizona, 60 miles from Phoenix. Interstate 8 provides some access at the Vekol interchange (Exit 144) and the Freeman Interchange (Exit 140). Arizona Route 238 and the Maricopa Road afford access to the North Maricopa Mountains and the Butterfield Overland Stage Route.
Camped here with our dogs several times! It’s free, 14 day BLM camping! Easy access off I-10 ~ beautiful desert scenery…Hot in summer, gorgeous in spring, fall, winter! Clear, dark night sky makes for outstanding star watching! And ~ low grade but plentiful agate!
BLM land with great views. Nice and open for any size RV. Good bit of trash found around.
This place is awesome. I'm watching a sunset now that's incredible I'm up against the mountain took the e-bike out for a spin we are way up against the mountain as far up as you can go. Very peaceful our closest neighbor is about 400 to 500 yards away. And it's free!

I climbed Saddle Mountain and talked to God. He said, "Hi."
.It's a little challenging. Lots of loose rocks. Walking stick helps a lot
