Solero Bull Springs - Level 3
Solero Bull Springs is a backcountry route in the Santa Rita and Patagonia area of southern Arizona, south of Tucson and near the Mexican border country. It runs through desert grassland and oak woodland foothills, with views across the surrounding sky island ranges.
The route suits a day trip. Plan to bring plenty of water, a full tank and a spare tire, since there is little traffic and cell coverage is limited.

Best suited for a high clearance 4x4
This is a Moderate (level 3) trail, best suited for a high clearance 4x4. Expect a stock vehicle with good ground clearance, 4WD and off-road tires to manage it. The surface can be uneven and rutted, with loose rocks and sandy washes. Ledges, drops and climbs should stay under about 12 inches, and careful tire placement may be needed in places. Any water crossings should be less than a foot deep, but mud holes are possible after rain. The road is generally one vehicle wide with places to pass. The driver's log did not call out any specific obstacles.
