AZOFFROAD.NET was created in 2010 and is based out of Litchfield Park, Arizona. We created our website as a way to share trails, adventures, and experiences out on the backroads of the state. In the last 10 years, we’ve slowly become more traveled and been lucky enough to explore much of Arizona. With the addition of our Youtube channel a couple years back, we also strive to produce quality visual content. Over the years we have built up our website to contain more accurate information, all available for free. For more on how the site has grown over the years, visit our story here. Check out the sections below to learn more about who the AZOFFROAD team is and what kind of equipment we use out on the trail.
