MAY ROTM UPDATE :
For the May ROTM, I am planning for the back way up Mt Ord. This is a moderate trail with the potential for some challenging washouts and narrow shelf roads. Stock high clearance 4wd recommended for this back route. If you have wheeled the Lippincott Mine Road in DVNP, this trail will be a breeze......
WHEN: May 14th and 15th
Camp overnight on Saturday the 14th at the top in the cool pines, maybe get a tour of the Fire Lookout Tower while we are there (leave your fear of heights at home and don't mind the swaying of the tower in the wind...). The view from up there is spectacular.
MEETING LOCATION AND TIME:
10180 N Fort McDowell Rd
Fort McDowell, AZ 85264
The caravan will depart from there at 0800 so please be there slightly early if you need to gas up
It's probably around 3 to 5 hours to get to the top of Mt Ord the back way from the Baja gas station depending on how many stops we make
Please post in the thread if you are planning to go so that we can have a good count
Going on the run :
