Date and Time: Saturday, January 22, 2005. 8:00am
Trail: Backway to Crown King (northwest of Phoenix)
Meeting Place: Intersection of Castle Hot Springs Rd and Hwy 74 (Carefree Hwy). Castle Hot Springs Road is the road that goes to the west side of Lake Pleasant. This road actually intersects with Hwy 74 in 2 places. Our meeting spot is the further east intersection near Lake Pleasant.
This is an intermediate trail. Enough lift to accomodate 31" all terrain tires or more is recommended. The rocks can be unforgiving so be sure you have at least one good spare tire. Also be sure that your vehicle is in good running condition. Murphy's Law seems to prevail on this trail.
This trip can easily turn into an all day thing. It begins near Lake Pleasant and ends at the town of Crown King. There is a maintained gravel road which we will be leaving Crown King on that runs down to the Bumblebee exit of I-17 near Black Canyon City.
Be sure to fill up with gas before arriving at the meeting spot. There are gas stations at the intersection of I-17 and Hwy 74, along 99th Ave in Peoria, and in Wickenburg for those coming from the west.
