1. Yuma, AZ to Blythe, CA

Yuma, AZ to Blythe, CA – 120 Miles

The CABDR-S starts in Yuma, AZ along the Colorado River. Spend a little extra time to visit the Territorial Prison State Historic Park and Museum, and old downtown has some great places to eat and stay. 

The route heads north and can be very sandy near Picacho State Rec Area depending on the season. There is an optional bypass available which remains on pavement to skip this area if you’re not up for sand right out of the gate. Continuing on, beautiful primitive dirt roads take you north, including a portion of the historic Bradshaw Trail and into Blythe.
