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. |

Does anyone want to carpool? I don't mind driving from AJ and can take 3-4 others in my X-terra (2WD not 4WD) but high clearance.

Ok, I signed up! Went last year, it was fun! People dropped off the list last year, made room for others to sign up, so even if I am on the waiting list, maybe I will get to go.
I don't have a 4WD vehicle, so I will have to mooch off someone else. Will help with gas, of course!
Would have signed up sooner but didn't notice it until now. |

I'm interested in carpooling also. 2WD no 4WD. Clearance is not as high as I wish, not sure if it will pass the road test.
Will pay for gas too
Anyone who could squeeze me in I'd be grateful. _________________ Wanderingsoul (Michelle)

I have permits in hand for 2nd-4th (2nd night & 3rd night camping). Cost will be $15/ person. Permits will be available in order of interest since I have only 10 spots.
Please reconfirm : dates are now Dec2-Dec4 ( Friday - Sunday). Please update your schedules & PM me with your continued interest.
If you already have my address from last time --drop a check in the mail! & let me know.
I will not be holding spots without payment this time around -- since I got stuck with unpaid permits due to last minute cancellations lat year _________________ Photos: http://www.pbase.com/desertgirl/galleries
