DEVIL'S HIGHWAY EXPLORING THE REMOTE EL CAMINO DEL DIABLO

摘要

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT the name El Camino del Diablo, the Devil's Highway, that drew us in. The 114-mile-long trail travels through the Sonoran Desert close to the U.S.-Mexico border in southern Arizona. The first explorers used the route to reach California as early as 1540 before it became popular as a shortcut to the missions in the 1700s. Many travelers along the road often suffered from hunger, dehydration, and fatigue. The number of deaths along this route may never be known. We wanted to see for ourselves just how rugged and remote this well-known trail was.
