Great info. Thanks! I'm thinking of having us start at the Dutchman entrance and exit at Usery. Probably going to do some exploring out there this weekend to get it figured out.

Yeah 1356 is the road we didn't take, the leader of our small group had run all these trail multiple times, she said 1356 would add about an hour and a half to the run. So about 4 hours total not allowing for spectating and whatnot.

I'm figuring on hitting the trail about 9:30 after the meet-up and and hour lunch stop would put us off the trail by 3:30 allowing lots of time for messing around. If folks wanted to just do half they could exit at Wolverine early. I'll have a better idea once I've pre-run and timed it out.

I forgot that Kyle uploaded a video of me making a mess of the sand surrounding Poser Rock that trip :steer:

This video is especially funny watching full screen at 1080P resolution and .25 speed :rofl:

Any options for primitive camping on this route?

yes, you can camp in the Bulldog Canyon area - pretty much wherever you like
 
the Usery side has very nice desert vegetation, but also sees a lot of use - there's a play area by the Wolverine exit that also sees a lot of ATV traffic

the main trail, FR10, had gotten rougher last year, but I haven't run it yet this year after all the Monsoon rains

considering the sun is low in the afternoons these times of the year, running the trail from west-east might give better lighting for pictures than driving into the sun in the afternoon
 
BTW, count me in for the run

Thx Mick

Date: Saturday December 18th, 2021

Location: Bulldog Canyon - Gate: Usery

Meet-up: 8:30am - 9:00am Location: Circle K, 2754 N Power Rd, Mesa, AZ 85215

Permit Required: Tonto OHV Permit $6.00 good for 6 months available here: Tonto National Forest Off-Highway Vehicle Permit, Tonto National Forest - Recreation.gov - https://www.recreation.gov/vehiclepermits/3332401

Route Plan: Usery Entrance, FR3554 to FR10 to Wolverine Gate. If some folks want to extend the trip they can continue on 1356 to the Dutchman Gate. From what I understand, there is good camping off of 1356 and its less busy.

This will be a relaxed trip, with a focus on just enjoying the terrain and the company. No hurry, no fuss.

COMMS: HAM 146.460 or GMRS 17 (462.600)
