ALAMO LAKE<br />
38 miles north of Wenden, Alamo<br />
Lake offers excellent bass, bluegill<br />
and catfish. The Arizona State Park<br />
can be accessed by a paved road from<br />
Highway 60 at the Wenden turn-off to<br />
the north on Alamo Lake Road.<br />
Owing to its remoteness the park is<br />
often considered one of the “best kept<br />
secrets” of the state park system.<br />
Alamo Lake State Park features<br />
camping facilities and attracts wildlife<br />
enthusiasts, as the park is home to<br />
numerous wildlife species including the<br />
bald eagle. The park’s remoteness and<br />
distance from cities also makes it a<br />
destination for stargazing.<br />

YOUR BASE CAMP FOR FUN!<br />
IMPERIAL WILDLIFE REFUGE<br />
58 miles south of <strong>Quartzsite</strong> on U.S.<br />
95. Turn right on Martinez Lake Road<br />
and drive 10 miles to Red Cloud Mine<br />
Road. Follow the brown refuge signs<br />
about 3.5 miles to the visitor center.<br />
Free. 928-783-3371,www.fws.gov/refuge/imperial.<br />
Painted Desert Trail makes a 1.3-<br />
mile loop, following a wash, crossing<br />
a ridge and tracing another sandy<br />
wash back to the trailhead. It’s a<br />
lavishly fractured terrain, weaving<br />
among colorful mounds that look like<br />
petrified sand dunes. The walking is<br />
easy with just a short climb to the<br />
ridgeline where I soak in fine views, a<br />
mosaic of desert patterns and the wet<br />
knife of the river carving a verdant<br />
slice in the distance.<br />
