Planned camping trip of five days reduced to three and still wanted to visit the Upper Verde Valley. So I set up base camp in one of the cabins at Dead Horse. Single room cabins have a full bed and a bunk bed. Table and a couple of chairs. Electric to the cabin and it has a ceiling fan and a light. You supply your own bedding. Picked up a small electric heater and a coffee maker to heat up water. Pretty cool to stay in a log cabin and the cabin loop has its own restroom building with showers. No cooking in the cabin but you are allowed a coffee maker so I used it to heat up water for cocoa and oatmeal. Walked the trails including at night, dried leaves rustling in the wind startled me a couple of times expecting something that escaped from Out of Africa to bolt from the brush. Great area for mtn. biking and will take one of the bikes next trip. |

Sounds like a great get-away! _________________ "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

I have mountain biked one loop there. Very nice area, I thought, and a great place to escape the mountain cold in winter. Thanks for the tip regarding the cabins. Sounds fun! |

I've camped and ridden there a few times. Some great trails but also some technical sections. _________________ -Colin
