Phoenix Road

Phoenix Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known route through Western Australia's remote inland landscape near Preston Settlement. This unrated trail presents an opportunity for adventurous drivers to discover terrain that remains largely untested by the Newtracs community, making it ideal if you're seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience away from heavily trafficked routes.

The 1.1 km route traverses relatively flat terrain with no steep grades, making it accessible for a wider range of vehicles and skill levels. You'll encounter the rugged beauty of Western Australia's outback environment, where sparse vegetation and open country characterize the driving experience. The lack of elevation challenges means you can focus on navigating the track surface itself and enjoying the remote surroundings at a leisurely pace.

Before heading out, you should prepare thoroughly despite the moderate terrain—this remote location demands respect for the harsh outback conditions. Carry adequate water, fuel, and recovery equipment, as help may be distant. Check weather conditions beforehand, as seasonal changes can dramatically affect track conditions. Using the Newtracs app to log your experience will help build the community knowledge around this trail, ensuring future adventurers benefit from firsthand accounts of road conditions and terrain features you encounter.
