On November 22, 2016, Richard and I hiked Passage 7 from the Twin Tanks Trailhead to the Gabe Zimmerman Trailhead. As the panorama shows, it was a perfect day: temperatures from the 60s to low 70s.
Some of the trail was on State Trust land, but passed close to private property, clearly visible from the trail (1/8-1/2 mile away) for the first hour and a half. The ecosystem was primarily High Sonoran desertscrub dominated by occotillo and mesquite.
There was one directional hitch at the crossing of AZ SR 83--after the culvert is not signed, but it's the singletrack route, not the 4x4 trail. On the trail, we met a thru-biker who had had started from Utah on October 29th.
We crossed under the freeway to end at the Gabe Zimmerman Trailhead. Here is the passage map: https://aztrail.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/07_LasCienegas.pdf
