untilAbandoned buildings, cliff dwellings, Coatimundi, mining ruins, a famously steep bouldery hill, beautiful scenery, and a lush river canyon in the desert - all in one trip! Join us for an overnighter as we run Arizona's neatest overland route, the historic Rug Road. We'll take it in reverse (from Mammoth to Klondyke), which is considered the easier direction as that takes us down the infamous Carpet Hill instead of having to climb it. We'll meet up early Saturday morning in Mammoth then get started on the rougher part of the trail up to about the half way point where we'll make camp. Then Sunday we'll continue our way on the easier half, exiting through the lush Aravaipa Canyon into Klondyke, AZ. Note that if you're headed back to Phoenix, it may be dark when you get home (Klondyke is 4 hours away). General requirements (see the sign-up thread for full details): A high clearance 4x4 with a low-range t-case option (i.e. 4-low), 33"+ aggressive tires, a 1.5"+ suspension lift, full skid plate coverage, rock rails No trailers on this run. Full-size vehicles strongly discouraged. Click here for full details and to sign-up... Note this is an Offroad Passport Club members-only event. View membership options → -
NEW DATE: Saturday 3/8/2025 Join me on a difficult trail up to an overlook of Lake Pleasant and the surrounding area. We'll climb a steep, boulder strewn, narrow trail to over 3,300ft for the view. Next we'll loop down into a rocky creek bed to check out a well preserved old miner's homestead. Finally we'll exit back toward Castle Hot Springs road to air-up at the original meetup spot. I've tagged this "exploratory" because it's been several years since i did the entire loop - we could encounter washouts or boulders requiring us to take alternate routes - be ready to roll with it!
