Fortuna wash RxR trestle

Out here in Fortuna Foothills, this old railroad trestle over the wash is one of those spots that locals know about but rarely talk about. It’s raw desert exploration — no playground equipment, no shade structures, just the trestle, the wash, and the kind of wide-open Sonoran landscape that kids actually remember. Bring water, wear closed-toe shoes, and let them scramble around and figure it out. Best in the cooler months when the desert isn’t trying to cook you alive.
