El Camino del Diablo, the Devil's Highway, is the topic of a slide show at 4 p.m. Sunday presented by the Arizona Historical Society.
Early Spanish explorers used the route through the desert area in 1540, starting in Caborca, Sonora. The ancient route was a link between Mexico and Yuma.
It has been traveled by adventurers with four-wheel vehicles and antique cars and it has been the subject of books written by individuals who have hiked what remains of the desert route.
