Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness on Dec 2-4 2011 East Side
Camping the night of 2nd & 3rd!

Trip Description: http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=2
Trail Head: East Trailhead
The access road is not regularly maintained, and crosses Aravaipa Creek several times in the last 10 miles. High-clearance vehicles are recommended. Towing assistance is 50 miles away. Flash flooding can make the road impassable. Call ahead (928-348-4400) for road conditions.

From Phoenix (188 miles, 4.5 to 5 hours): Take US Highway 60 to Globe. At Globe, continue east on US Highway 70 to the Klondyke Road (8 miles past Ft. Thomas). Turn right onto this graded dirt road, go 24 miles to the "Y" intersection, turn right and go another 16 miles to the trailhead. From the trailhead parking and kiosk, it is a 1.5-mile hike through Nature Conservancy land to the east wilderness boundary.

Diane: TH time is TBD at this time. Plan is see if we can get to HorseCamp for the night.

azbackpacker& Sunray: I do not have permits for you. I can get a max of 10 -- all of which are spoken & paid for at this time. The sign up is not working correctly --

If you want to go you will have to get your own permits

Thanks. Glad I get to go anyway! Razz

Hey, someone out there: I got my permit separately, as already discussed. At least, I applied, was accepted, and paid for it. Was I supposed to print something out or are they going to mail me a permit? Where do I get the piece of paper that says I have a permit? I guess I should go back online and look, huh?

What do you suppose the chances are of doing this backpack on crutches? Rolling Eyes

Oh, poor you! Not fun!

Ok, still need an answer to my question. I'll call BLM later this week if I don't figure it out some other way.

You print your Aravaipa permit from the BLM website. If you have your confirmation email ID you can go on the confirm your permit link and print it from there.

Ok. Thanks! I have that somewhere in my old email, or in a pile of papers on my dresser! Wink

Thanks again!
