That’s why I’m happy my girl is just turning 4 years old. She enjoys it now days. I take her with me any chance I get, as long as it’s family friendly.

Depends what you drive. If you have four-wheel drive a some decent clearance, it's easy. Otherwise, I think you could say moderate.
In case you didn't know, you need a permit from the Forest Service to do Bulldog Canyon. It's free and you can apply via email.

Exactly! couldn't have described it better. My brother did this a couple weeks ago with a Pre-Runner Tacoma (2wd) and we went from north to south on the trail with no problem, however going from south to north is a bit rougher on a couple spots for climbing.
Sorry brother. I should have let you answer that. I was too eager to be distracted by thoughts of wheeling instead of doing work! [emoji12]

New OB member here (Waiting for my digits). Currently in the Denver area but coming down to Tucson for the winter. Native to the Prescott area so AZ is my backyard. It's good to be headed back for a bit.
I'll keep an eye out for trail runs and events.

Hi everyone, new member here in Tempe. I try to get out camping as often as I can and wanted to get in on the over landing scene too. I've been cataloging my spots in Google Earth. I've got two books I recommend you get (if you don't have them already) that have lots of trails in them (from beginner to expert). I've been putting the trails from the books into Google Earth as well. They are:
"Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails" and "Backcountry Adventures: Arizona"
I'm going to try to make it to next weeks meet up at Tempe Marketplace and can bring them if anyone is interested in looking at them.

Welcome! I'm down in Tucson but head up to your vicinity for the AZ Overlanders meetup every month.
Both great books, one note about "Backcountry Adventures: Arizona": it is no longer published as one big state-wide book, and is therefore getting harder to find used for a reasonable price. The trick is that it is now published as 4 separate books titled "Arizona Trails" based on region. So look for:
- Arizona Trails South Region
- Arizona Trails Northeast Region
- Arizona Trails Central Region
- Arizona Trails West Region
Where/when and how do I find out about these AZ meet ups we do? I see you guys mention them, but still unsure how they get organized, etc.

There is a rally point that shows the meet up on the members map. Here's the link[emoji4]

Just moved to fountain hills a couple months ago and have run a bunch of trails since getting here. My truck is basically stock but works great for a lot of the trails here, hope to see you guys out there!

There's the "Meet and Greet" meetup which sounds like it's just like a parking lot meetup (i haven't been to one), and there's the AZ Overlanders meetup group where we go out on overnight trips fairly regularly. AZ Overlanders is not an offcial OB group, but most attendees are members of OB. There's been quite a few trips organized in this thread and in the OB SW Region forum as well

I'd like to meet as well, but can't seem to open the link to see the map :(

Not sure what happened to that link, i suspect it got mangled somehow in the copy pasta. Here is one that should work (it's also listed in the Rally Point events listing)
