I'am thinking of heading up to the Pinetop, Show low area over labor day weekend to camp. Does anyone know any good spots for dispersed camping? Any good forest road to check out, creeks, lakes, hiking?

does anyone know the location of antelope falls? I understand it should be in the TM area. have seen a couple of pictures but have no idea how to get there. what is the trail rating? thanks in advance. mike found it ! I was told antelope falls is between bumble bee and cleator. the...

On Monday the 6th I decided I needed to get out of the house and enjoy the great outdoors. I know you're not supposed to wheel alone, but I needed some quiet time away from lifes distractions. So, I headed to Payson to explore around Diamond Point and to check out Scout Cave. My wife and I had...

Sometimes I'll go on certain runs just because there is good food at the other end. The Mill at Crown King is a good example; sometimes I'll find myself thinking more about the dinner than about the backroad, not necessarily a good thing... Passing through Superior over the weekend, decided...

On the Tucson area Chimney Rock run there is a junction with another road just before going up the steep hill when running from East to West. This other road goes West and then turns North according to my topo map. It is a dead end and some have referred to it as The North Road of Chimney Rock. ...

anyone ever run any trails above Crown King? Are there any that have some "obsticales"?

I watched the movie "Hombre" starring Paul Newman and most of it took place in Coronado NF and the Helvetia Mine owned by the Anaconda Company. Anyone know where that is exactly? Might be fun to check out sometime, just for the hell of it :D

I would like some recommendations from people in the area or anyone that knows a place near Payson to drive up and do some wheeling and maybe even camp overnight. Nothing extreme since we (a TJ and myself) only have 3" lifts and we'll be out with our families. Please send any and all ideas my...

Me and Kathy are heading to up to Prescott to celebrate her B-Day at Whiskey Row on Friday - the 12th!! If any jeepers are going to be there - say hi! We were thinking of taking an easy to moderate trail with some scenery on the way up there or even after we get there. Can anyone reccommend...

Devils Staircase is calling my name in my sleep....

A few of you know I'm an avid camper but no Jeep at the moment so it gets difficult. My brother (lung cancer surviver) wants me to take him camping in a few weeks but we are limited to places my Buick Regal can get to. We have thought about Big Lake but I really want to go somewhere with...

Hello! I'm an Air Force guy recently stationed here at Luke AFB (Coming from Vegas). I've just purchased a 97 TJ automatic hardtop in pretty darn good shape, with a 5.5" RE long arm, 1" body lift with swaybar links, stock gears / diffs / axles, 33" A/T tires, on-board air, winch, CB,...

Can anyone give me some information on a couple of Forest Service roads? I am looking at Cane Springs TH which is accessed via a Cherry Stem into the 4 Peaks wilderness FR 401. It's listed as a 4wd road. But I've already learned there is pretty wide range in what is a 4wd road in AZ...

Hello, I will be camping Memorial Day weekend in the Happy Jack area which is about 45 minutes north of Strawberry. Does anyone know of some good back country wheeling in that area off the state. The last time I was up there the only thing I found was forest roads. Matt McKeon 95' ZJ...

So, this may have been touched on, I just couldnt find a similar thread. I hadn't heard about this until last month, which is too late to take part in whats going on. However, does anyone else know much more than I do? I mean, they dont have the money to manage the park, so do they...

I'm going to Sedona tomorrow morning, any suggestions on where to hit trails? I've heard alot of great things "Dry Creek Rd"??, anyone? Photographic expedition~

I'm planning on heading out there very soon to shoot the wild flowers, just wondering if anybody had been out in the past couple of days. Just curious as to how much color is actually out. It's kind of a long haul for me from North Phx, so I didn't want to trek all the way out there and be...

Anyone have time off on either monday or tuesday to join me to explore? perhaps meet in Cave Creek? A little off road and nature....

searched & didn't see this. Redwood Creek winery is making a grant of $50,000.00 available to the project with the most votes by August 31st, 2010. The competition is nation-wide. The Arizona Trail Association is competing. Winner is determined by the number of votes (one per registered...

Well I took a drive through Walnut Canyon last Saturday and it was even more scenic than I remembered, or maybe it's just that everything is so green with all of the recent rain. :) I thought about exiting out through MR, but it was a little bit more knarly than I was comfortable with, being...

Looking to go play in the snow this weekend, and I see the snow on the mountains north of the west Valley but the only way I know to get there is the "Back Road To Crown King" so is what I am wondering are there any other trails that will lead to the snow on top of those mountains? Otherwise I will...
