Where - Cave Creek Regional Park - Group Campsite
37019 N. Lava Lane
Cave Creek, AZ 85331
Ph: 623-465-0431
Fax: 623-465-9284
You will need to tell the ranger at the gate that you are with the Arizona Hikers Group. They will then hand you a map and tell you how to get to the Group Campsite. From what I understand they will not charge you the regular Entrance Fee if you are camping. I will collect your camping fees when you get to camp. If you are not camping and only staying for the day, then you will need to pay the Entrance Fee at the gate.

Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area is located approximately 35 miles north of central Phoenix. Interstate 17, State Route 51, and Loop 101 can all be used to reach the park. From the intersection of Carefree Highway and Cave Creek Road head north on Cave Creek Road about 2.5 miles to Spur Cross Road. Turn north for approximately 4.5 miles to the public parking area. After 3 miles the road turns to all-weather graded. The last 1.5 miles can be confusing; continue north on the graded road past the green house, through the tall gateposts and on past the horse corrals to the signed public parking area on the right.

I am going to go ahead and sign up, if I am not going to do the Rock N Roll Halfy, then I will come, depends on my training, or lack there of. I have not done one of these, but it sure does sound like fun! _________________ Anne

Is it too early to start a food list?
I would like to bring a veggie tray, pumpkin bread and fire wood.

Hmmm, I might be able to. Depends on what I get done on Friday before I head over. I know it is a big drive for us, lol. I could always come Sat. morning and stay overnight. I doubt I will be doing the Rock N Roll Halfy _________________ Anne
