We made the road from Ajo to Charlie Bell Pass in a Subaru Outback on April 5; most of the road is not bad at all, but the last mile is really rough as people have said. We saw no one along the way or on the hike, just one flyover by a Border Patrol helicopter. There was water in the wildlife basin. This is an amazing site for petroglyphs and other remnants (if you know what to look for) of the Hohokam and other early people of SW Arizona. At the trailhead there is now a telephone for people in trouble with directions for its use in English, Spanish, and O'odham.

Ocotillos were in flower; also a few hedgehogs.
