Default Arizona: Places to Wheel In Arizona

Gives us the location of your favorite places to wheel in Arizona and how to get there.

I've gone through borders and barnes and noble and none of them had books with maps of places where I can Jeep.

Thanks

Matt

Please include the trail difficult and recommended JK Gear/mods.

Just moved to AZ from mass and was also looking for some trails. found this book at barnes and noble. Has a bunch of trails from stock to hard for all over the state. Just did broken arrow in Sedona when my family came and visited and they loved it


Edit: it's also on amazon for about $10 cheaper too

The book i posted has trails for each area you mentioned in depth with GPS co-ords and mile marker info, i highly suggest getting it, best $25 i've spent..
As for Lake Pleasant, im there almost every weekend. Great place to be. Your going to want to go on North Castle hot springs rd then follow the signs that say Crown King Rd.

Table Mesa is an Exit of I-17. The book also has the Boulders trail but never been there myself.

Thanks Croce, do you think my X with 32 MT's could handle those trails? I have no lift, but tow points and some buds with winches.

I've made it to the Crown King entrance just fine (Couldnt go any further as i was running solo and dont know anyone for recovery yet) I too have no lift and still running stock sahara A/T's. The entire trail to Crown king is just a bumpy dirt road, but once you reach crown king i've heard theres some tough spots

I've made a map of the entire Crown king trail plus the trail leading to it on Google Earth*. I've attached it in a Zip file (hopefully im allowed too)
In Google Earth just go to File>open and open the .KMZ file in the ZIP file if your not familiar with it.

Just a FYI its a long trail, something like 40+ miles one way if starting at Lake Pleasant (theres even a saloon and gas station at the end called Cindys Saloon i believe)
