What are some "day trip", Saturday or Sunday trails where the start of the trail is roughly within two hours of Phoenix that you would like to go over the next two or three months if only someone would lead the trip?
I am leaving this wide open, could be easy and scenic, could be challenging and an opportunity to test your vehicle or your driving skills. Maybe there is just some trail you want to explore but don't want to go alone.
Just some suggestions, in the three major directions from Phoenix, to open the mind:
One moderate level run I like to take people on for awesome views of the Sedona cliffs (weather and smoke permitting) is my Carefree to Dugas route
Schenbly Hill Road (easy to mildly moderate) or Broken Arrow (moderate to mildly difficult), maybe two-for-one in a day
Hackberry Creek loop (TrailsOffroad figure 8 version or the FunTreks shorter figure 6 version). Both are difficult, the TrailsOffroad version is just more of the difficult and more scenery.
Terminator lower and upper, add in Black Canyon OHV trail and you have a nice full day run (decently difficult to extreme)
I have a longer, more difficult version of Turkey Creek Trail from Bumble Bee exit to Spring Valley
Diamondback Gulch (aka Greasy Spoon). Moderate
Smiley Rock, difficult
I have a route around the Eagletail Wilderness with a nice, not too long hike near Courthouse Rock, if you don't mind the heat of the summer, driving is easy to maybe mildly moderate
Any of these or whatever else, comment what is on your mind at the moment. Where do you want to go?
