11/16/2013: Hackberry Creek, near Superior, AZ 4x4 Difficult

Recommended Posts

Hackberry Creek is a very scenic and technical 4x4 driving trail near Superior, AZ. It's rated difficult due to areas of loose boulders, ascents and descents, plus the leaders of this trip have not been there in over 5 years, which means this will be an exploratory trip.

 

Meet-up: 9:30 AM Oak Flat Campground; 4 miles east of Superior just before mile marker 231. MAP

 

Additional Info:

 

  • High-clearance vehicles with at least 32 - 33" tires and aggressive tread, at least 1 locker, and technical driving experience required.
  • This will be an ALL DAY run! If you have prior commitments in the early evening, you should not sign up for this trip.
  • CB Channel: 4
  • HAM radio simplex freq: 146.46
  • Everyone should bring lunch, snacks and plenty of water.
  • Recommended: bring tools and some spare parts for your rig just in case.
  • Bring sun protection (sun screen, hat, sun-glasses, etc.).
  • Bring a camera!
  • People and Other-Pet friendly pets are allowed.

I am still waiting to see someone take a full-size on this trail. You would definitely want a pretty radical lift and some body armor on your truck. Also, several of the tight switchbacks might leave you wishing for something smaller with a tighter turning radius. Other than that I think a skilled driver could do it. :)

Wish I could go :(

 

if it was on the 17th I could go.

 

We just did this run about a month ago and was certainly a 3.5 rated trail. here is a link to my album and some videos:

Let me know if you want an update on the trail since I just went, but I am sure it is just as challenging as you remember it :)

We're willing to move this to Sunday 11/17/2013 if it means more than 2 rigs total. Everybody okay with that?

 

Chime in to let me know & I'll change the 1st post.

No! That date conflicts with my "Table Mesa virgins' run".

 

I've been giving serious consideration to joining you for this run on Saturday. My only hesitation has been that I'd be looking at two full, back to back days of wheeling with long travel times to and from the trails. If you are going to change the date, please change it to a completely different weekend.

Put Chris and I down for the trip. He needs to finish his rock rail modifications but should be able to before the run.
