16 QuartzsiteVisitorGuide.com ����� | M��� G�������� Bullhead City to Yuma Connecting 3 Counites: Mohave-La Paz-Yuma The proposed Arizona Peace Trail, is a developing 700-mile trail system for the OHV enthusiast! Whether you have a Quad, Side by Side or a Jeep, the"Arizona Peace Trail" is a great way to take daily rides or planned overnight trips providing information on where to gas up, grab a bite to eat or stay the night throughout Yuma, La Paz and Mohave Counties. At least a dozen re- gional OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) clubs, in three counties, have participated in the inventory of places to visit through- out the 3 Counties. Their mission is to develop a loop trail system utilizing existing trails and roads in Western Arizona connecting Bullhead City to Yuma and assist the land managers in maintaining the trail system. Work with City, County, State and Federal Agencies to keep the desert roads and trails open for public use. Work on projects for our community, our highways an our public lands. Promote the sport of Off Highway Vehicle(OHV) riding safety, with aware- ness and respect for the environment. Members are working with agencies to ensure the trail is ecologically sound. The trail uses existing roads and trails. According to J.C. Sanders, chairman of the Arizona Peace Trail Committee the group is hoping to develop a recreation- al opportunity and develop areas for camping and preparation so that people can go on longer trips. July 20,2015 The La Paz County Board of Supervisors approved to submit a grant application to the Yamaha Out- door Initiative to help pay for signage on the La Paz County portion of the Ari- zona Peace Trail. The amount of funds the County is seeking is $14,980.46. The website will be providing informa- tion on where to gas up, grab a bite to eat or stay the night throughout Yuma, La Paz and Mohave Counties.
