Have you had a chance to explore Josephine Canyon near Patagonia yet? I am not sure if your huge rig will make it all the way back there but there is some awesome 4 wheeling in that area.

Last time I was down there we did some hunting west of the 83 off of Gardner Canyon Rd and Santa Rita. You can get way up in the mountains from either of those roads.

First pic is looking towards the 83 from way back on Mt Wrightson off of Gardner Canyon Rd. Then a really long hike to get to that spot at like 4am lol.

Second one is looking out from Josephine Canyon doing some predator calling.

Funny there is a gun barrel in most of the pics I take when I am down there I guess lol.

Oh awesome! I have been all around Harshaw mine road. Never taken that road very far down there though. I usually stay west of the 83.

Nope still live here, don't think I will ever leave honestly. We have everything except for a coast line. I live near Phoenix now though.

What trail is that one 22Hemi ? We spent a couple of days in Phoenix last week, and i tried to get into the Apache trail or Bulldog but the 88 was closed at Tortilla Flat so i coudn't even see any dirt during those days, asides from the awesome 113F dry days :) .
We had to leave our poor little doggy at a Petsmart in Scottdale for 6-8 hours per day because the ground was so hot she couldn't even walk.

Is Crown King something we can do with this big trucks ?
Yep. Mine did it. It’s pretty easy. There’s obstacles which have bypasses. There’s really about 3/4mi of ****. After that it’s just narrow and rough. I wouldn’t recommend going solo and def have spare or two and be ready for a little damage. The 3/4mi of crap can’t be bypassed but it’s fun....and the views. There was a 3rd gen 1500 my buddy drives. He did slash a tire “held air” but had to be replaced and a few dings. He has sliders and used them. I don’t and smashed my bed a little.

I was using the AZ Offroading website to check the easy trails local to Phoenix as their definition of easy or moderate seems to be more adapted towards modded Jeeps. They have Sunflower mine as moderate. checking a youtube video is seems a trail i want to do with a Jeep :)
