Rocky stream bed features optional extreme obstacles.
All of the hard-core action on this trail takes place in the first 1.3 miles, where the trail follows a rocky wash bottom. This section can be bypassed by following an unmarked forest road that meanders along the wash. Most people exit the wash at Waypoint 02 to avoid an extreme obstacle, dubbed by some as “The Filter.”
Meetup: 7:00 am at Farmer’s Insurance 853 S Dunivin Lane Dewey AZ 86327. We will leave promptly at 7:30 AM. For those coming from Phoenix, you can meet us at 9:30 AM at the Shell Station next to the Home Depot at 2000 N Beeline Hwy, Payson, AZ 85541
Trail Rating: Difficult!
Wash bottom is a mix of loose and solid rock with ledges up to 2-ft. high. Tires are often forced against sharp rock edges leading to sidewall cuts. Make sure to carry a spare. Standing water in places increases difficulty. “The Filter” obstacle is primarily for rock buggies, but some vehicles with huge tires can get up by winching. Breakdowns and body damage are likely on this obstacle.
Vehicle Requirements: Minimum tire size of 35″ and at least one locker, sliders/skids, full size spare and be comfortable with possible damage.
