Arizona Peace Trail Circumnavigation by Jeeps
First Group of Jeeps to Circumnavigate the Arizona Peace Trail
Three couples started in Yuma, AZ to become the first group of Jeeps to complete the 675-mile "Ultimate Off-Road Adventure" — the Arizona Peace Trail. America's longest off-road loop trail.
The 3 Jeep couples consisted of:
- Rick & Nita Pickering — 2016 JK Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport
- Jim & Sherie Newell — 2018 JL Rubicon
- Julie Hanson & John Williams — 1990 Jeep Wrangler
Their Story
Our Ultimate Off-Road Adventure actually started at "Ultimate Off-Road," a Jeep repair shop in Yuma, Arizona, in July 2018, where Rick and Nita Pickering noticed the Arizona Peace Trail brochure in the shop and realized that our ultimate adventure awaited us.
On Nov. 8, 2018, we hit the Arizona Peace Trail ready for our 675-mile Ultimate Off-Road Adventure!
