The current route begins at Lukeville, Arizona 21 miles southwest of Ajo at the boundary between Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. From there it continues through barren and isolated Sonoran Desert to Yuma. Some of the features along the way are: San Cristobal Wash, the Agua Dulce Mountains, Papago Well; Camp Grip, the Pinta Sand Dunes and the Pinacate Volcanic Field. The road passes through the Tule Desert and Mountains and into Tule Tank Canyon to reach Tule Well where the road intersects with Christmas Pass Road. The road continues through the Lechuguilla Desert, Tordillo Mountain, and the Tinajas Altas Mountains. The route passes west of Raven Butte and Cipriano Pass. It then follows the western border of the Gila Mountains, passing by the abandoned Fortuna Mine before finally reaching the small community of Fortune Hills on the outskirts of Yuma.

Autorenporträt
Eugene has had a lifelong love of philosophy which has guided his life since early childhood. He grew up in the desert Southwest of Arizona and can remember as a boy when the state had less than a million people in it. The vast empty deserts, the mountains, and the indigenous people were always easily accessible, often within or just beyond the city limits. As a youth he spent long hours alone in the desert and mountains learning and appreciating the solitude of sparsely populated places. After graduating from the University of Arizona in 1964 with a BS in Zoology he was called to active duty with the United States Navy and served until his retirement in 1986. During that service he qualified as a surface officer and a Naval Flight Officer assigned to various fighter squadrons embarked on several different aircraft carriers. He had two combat tours in South East Asia in the Tonkin Gulf off the coast of North Vietnam. He retired from the Navy in 1986. After retirement from the Navy he completed a second career with the Arizona Department of Public Safety where he served as a police dispatcher and licensing agent for private investigators and agencies and security guards and agencies. He worked with uniformed highway patrol officers and with criminal investigators. He currently lives in Tucson, Arizona.
