New member here out in the far west valley(Buckeye). I've made a few runs out to Saddle Mountain but, not much outside of that. Keen to learn a bit about some other good "newb friendly" trails/adventures.

Check out Bradshaw mountains and Prescott to crown king. I have a house in victory and go out with my jk when there. Great place to explore
Enthusiast III
I'll be heading to Crown King Sunday morning for anyone interested.
Influencer III
I wish but still in the cold of Washington. Are you doing Prescott to Crown King or Crown King to Lake Pleasant? I have done both and the CK-Pleasant is far harder but cool.

Im on the west side as well, goodyear.
Doing crown king on Saturday the 8th. Its fairly easy but nice and scenic. Youre more than welcome to go.

Planning on going from lake pleasant to crown king

That's a great time. When I did it a couple years ago there was a mining operation that diverted the creek down the road. It was no problem just different. Let me know if that is still the case. Might try it with my Beast I have now.

That is still the case. The trail runs up the creek right next to the mine.

I was planning on heading up with a few other folks on Sunday, but if they can shift to Saturday I may join you

That would be cool with me. It will be me in my trooper and at least 1 jeep, but maybe a couple others.

Welcome!

Darn, I wish we could join you but we're stuck in town this coming weekend for a couple of events.
I'm considering slapping a last-minute overnight trip together for next weekend though. I'm thinking like Rug Road or just Copper Creek/Sibley Mansion (both east of Mammoth, AZ). I'll keep this thread posted if i end up going in case anybody wants to join. You'll need a AZ State Trust permit ($20 for a year)

I'll be stuck in town next weekend.... One day our calendars will sync up and we will actually get a trip in... Haha, hopefully before the next expo...
Off-Road Ranger I
No kidding, right!? I'm also hoping to put together a longer El Camino Del Diablo run, I need to sync up with @AZ Explorer on timing again to make sure he will be available
Traveler I
I really appreciate the invite. I've got plans this weekend but definitely interested in joining on the next run.

This is one I definitely want to check off the list. Let me know and I will find a way to make it work.

This sounds fun, count me in. I just passed my Technician's test last Saturday and I want to get my UV5R setup like the rest of you. Todd, can you do that with my radio, too? Weekends are usually the best for me. Can we make the meet up central to where we all live?
Is anyone going on this 12/8 Saturday's CK Run with OTR?

Are you going to CK with the On The Rocks Facebook group? Meet/headout at 9am from Peoria. I will keep an eye out for your Trooper. I will be in a 3rd gen 4Runner. What type of comms are you running? This weekend's group will be using ham 151.820 and I will have my GMRS radio on and set to channel 15.
