The Sonoran Desert Traverse: 317 Miles of Dirt, Saguaros, and History

The quickest way to fall for the Sonoran Desert is to point your rig east from the Salton Sea and follow the dirt until Phoenix shows up on the horizon. The Sonoran Desert Traverse is a 317-mile overland track that links California’s Coachella Valley to the western edge of the greater Phoenix area, and you can run it in either direction. It chains together a set of well-known routes, including the Bradshaw Truck Trail on the western leg and, over on the Arizona side, Agua Caliente Road, stitching old mining roads, sandy washes, and historic travel corridors into one long dirt line across the desert.

Crab Legs And Hibachi Fill The Plates At This Phoenix All-You-Can-Eat Buffet

Some lunches end with a single plate. Others end with a fourth trip, a cleared tray of crab legs, and a quiet promise to skip dinner. In north Phoenix, a sprawling buffet near the old Metro Center area has been feeding big appetites for years, and it opens its doors at 11 AM every single day of the week. The draw is simple: a long lineup of Chinese buffet favorites, a cook-to-order hibachi grill, seafood options, and a dessert spread, all for one price.

Saguaros here tower more than 50 feet high, and some may be over a century old. Stand beneath one, and it feels like meeting desert royalty.
