June 3rd & 4th-Apache Maid Area Exploration-Easy to Moderate

Recommended Posts

 Apache Maid Area Exploration- Camping At Buckhorn Cabin

Saturday June 3rd & Sunday June 4th

Primitive Tent Camping | No Facilities

 

Join me for 2 days of easy low mileage exploration on this overland style run. I expect this to be a low key, low effort run before the weather gets too warm. (Trails are colored Teal below)

 

Saturday we will start on Stoneman Lake Road which is approximately 6 miles east of I-17. We will make stops and check out anything interesting along the way this day. We will take Stoneman Lake Road east to Rocky Gulch Ridge then south to a small piece of Apache Maid Trail. We will pick up Cedar Flat Road and turn south until we find 00081A. From there we will snake our way down about 4 miles to the Buckhorn Ranch and cabin where we will camp and check out that area.

 

Sunday morning we will work our way back to Cedar Flat Road then over to the Beaver Creek trail and then southward towards Camp Verde.

 

 

Meetup,Air-Down and Departure

When: June 3rd @ 9:30 A.M, departing no later than 10:00 A.M.. We are only covering about 35-40 miles Saturday so we should make the cabin mid afternoon. Subject to change.

Where: Stoneman Lake Road Trailhead. (Where the paved section of Stoneman Lake Road from I-17  ends)

Fuel up in Camp Verde if coming from the valley. Please arrived fueled up.

Thank you. 🙂 If the last few years have taught me anything it is that anything is possible, more so lately than ever before.  🤪
