1. El Camino Del Diablo from Wikipedia. El Camino Del Diablo is a historic Spanish colonial trail, originally from Caborca, Sonora to Yuma, Arizona, and on to the Spanish colonies of California. Jesuit Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino pioneered the trail from 1699-1701. The most difficult stretch of the trail was the 130-mile stretch from Sonoyta, Sonora to what is now Yuma, Arizona.
