The 3.4 is phenomenal. You are going to be stoked.

The fords are across Sycamore Creek. We have been getting a lot of rain lately (by AZ standards) and even some good snow as well. All this leads to some good flow.

For the group I went on this run with, I think we could have counted on one hand how many times we had crossed such rivers until that day.

 

TRUE TRUE! I hope I don't have to ever count using more than just my hands and feet. LOL!
What a river!

 

awesome pics guys. Could one of you pm me the location of the trails? just wondering how far away it is.

lookin for some new trails that arent an all day trip for sunday. got work at 5

 

Sure, take teh 87/beeline highway north towards payson 15 miles. Turn left at Four Peaks Road just before mile marker 204. Head down that dirt road and it will put you in the same area as us.

 

Sycamore/Four Peaks area closures-

Call the Tonto NF Mesa district before you head out anywhere this weekend.

Sugarloaf/Sycamore entrance is closed, as well as the Mesquite Wash and possibly others in the vicinity as of today. These roads are gated.

It is possible they will open the gates soon, they were closed due to the flooding/washes flowing.

 

Thanks for the info guys.

know of any good trails to go on this weekend that will be open? kinda close to the valley within an hour drive or less? any trails at TM that are doable with stock vehicles?

Thanks for the pics! You guys really have some great spots to wheel out there!!
