WILL E 363 Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) This trail is out by Saguaro Lake so it's pretty close to town. Great trail for stock rigs and newbies too! Typically the run is about 2 to 3 hours. I run this trail several dozen times each season. We will enter in on 3554 and exit out Fr10 on Bush. If things are going well and it's not too hot maybe run back through 3554. A permit is required, it's $6, lasts 6 months and is specific to the Bulldog Canyon area: https://www.recreation.gov/vehiclepermits/3332401 Technical Rating: 2-3 (easy) - Great for newbies! REQUIREMENTS: A stock clearance 4x4 with a low range transfer case option, suitable front OR rear recovery point (trailer hitch is fine), stock tires. Rigs & drivers must meet all the typical state/federal legal requirements for on-highway vehicles (license, insurance, registration, seat belts, lights, etc.) $6 permit per vehicle. Each OPERATOR must have a permit, families can share a permit This is a great trail for people with little to no experience. Everyone must stay on the designated trails Radios: Not required (I have a spare). Ham on 462.700, CB or FRS all work for me. Trail finding is easy and we'll keep you in our mirrors. Itinerary: Meet up time will be 9:00 am at fr3554 trail head off of Usery Pass. We'll air down (optional) and chat a bit. https://www.google.com/maps/place/West+Gate+to+Bulldog+Canyon+OHV+Area/@33.505559,-111.6126836,16.25z/data=!4m9!1m2!2m1!1sbulldog+canyon+3554+entrance+map!3m5!1s0x872bbba068b5c437:0xe103b51b92f8ed81!8m2!3d33.5047988!4d-111.6172384!15sCiBidWxsZG9nIGNhbnlvbiAzNTU0IGVudHJhbmNlIG1hcJIBEG9mZl9yb2FkaW5nX2FyZWE We'll stop at least twice to enjoy the view and chat. At FR10 we will head south to a little picnic spot and have a snack (I will make Cheese crisps!) And then North to Bush Highway exit or back out 3554. The trail is about 7 or 8 miles long to Bush. Bring the kids, the pets, Grandma. Bring something to snack on. We'll stop for a snack under the shade of some mesquite trees.

It's a fun trail with lots of scenery and because it's close it doesn't take up the entire day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
