Well it's been a few years since we made it to Alder Canyon. Our last overnighter was March of 2019. With the recent rains the creek should be running so let's give it another go! This is a local/close run so packing is usually easy. The trail to Alder is tight in places but I pulled the Phalcon last year so if you have an adventure trailer you can make it. This will force me to get one of my cruisers running!
We are doing fajitas Saturday night so if anyone is interested in potlucking it let's go with that theme!
Phulcrum is departing the 76/I15 ride and drive at 3:15PM Saturday. I will be running about an hour or so later than that so if anyone wants to caravan post up and we'll see what we can do.
Attendee list:
- Elripster plus wife and 3 boys
- Phulcrum + fam
- KTP
- daklakfoto (tentative)
- Helga the FJ60
2019 pics... Events/Trails - Baileys Cabin/Alder Canyon 3-15-19 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/baileys-cabin-alder-canyon-3-15-19.1127761/page-2#post-12263517
We will be tent camping this year but we will be sure to make the good foods and drink. Our plan is to head out Friday after work which will get us there at night but having been there a few times we know the way. If you come in at night and miss the sign indicating the right hand turn up to Alder, you will run into the Bailey's Cabin. Just turn around and hug the ridge to your left, you'll then see the sign post and make the left. Just follow the trail and tire tracks from there. There is one point where your briefly drop into wash for a quick right/left jog, just follow the tracks and you'll see the quick left to exit the wash.
Usual comms will be in effect.
Without traffic it's a 2 hour drive to Baileys so about 2.5 hours to Alder.
Once in the canyon stay right so you see the sign to Alder and make the right.
Close up of the turn off to Alder but any of these washes will get you there.
Quick right/left through this wash if you come in the main road. Obviously if you are in the wash then you just take any number of lefts to get to the trail up to Alder.
Once in Alder Canyon there are a few places to camp. I'll hit up the first one which can take 3-4 rigs easily. If we get a big group there are lots of spots and turn offs but the main areas are below.
Let's make this a very loose agenda type of trip. There are some washes we can explore, trails one can mountain bike, or one can just hang out and drink beer all day in the creek which is what we did last time...
Later that day....
I'd be down to do some mountain biking if anyone else is interested.
