Hello all,
I'm planning a trip to the above mentioned locations and the three of us pulled permits to stay two nights in the Devil's kitchen campground on the nights of 6/18, 6/19. We are allowed a total of nine vehicles with three permits.
My proposed route is this: leave Abq on Thurs am 6/17 and camp somewhere off of hwy211. I know we've stayed at the Superbowl campground before but it's not easy to put a large group in one spot but I have other spots across the hwy that can accommodate us. We get up Fri 6/18 and meander our way to E-hill, which is on the same hwy, just further West.
I've attached the proposed route in GPX below. Please import this into your favorite GPS app or google map app to look at it.
We'll air down at the trail head then proceed to Devil's kitchen. Spend two nights, do some nice slot canyon hikes, check out the confluence overlook, 6/18, 619, then pull out on 6/20 which is Sunday. We then head south out of the park then go through Bobby's hole and enter Dark canyon/Beef basin trail network. Lots of ruins in this area and head southbound toward hwy 95. My hope is that we'll make good progress as this is mostly dirt driving and camp closer to hwy 95. We can also checkout the ruins off of Cottonwood wash if time permits. We will exit the system near bears ears or cottonwood wash Monday morning and head home. This is approx 60 miles from Devil's kitchen to the pavement.
Due to the obstacles that we'll encounter, you MUST have sliders and/or one rear tire traction device (ATRAC or lockers). Ideally, tire size needs to be 33" or so for max clearance. One jerry can of fuel will be required for "just in case".
Plenty of spotters will be available to help and stack rocks.
The "squeeze" is about the only place where vehicle width is a concern but I think that won't be an issue for landcruisers. There's a way around it if needed.
Please have the means to air down then back up and have all necessary recovery gear onboard. A solid, heavy duty recovery point on the front and rear is a MUST, in case the need arises. Please don't confuse recovery points with "auto transport" tie downs loops.
As always, be able to fix your junk but we'll all be around to help/supervise
