Let's have a little pre-Christmas fun and blow off one shopping day for 4-wheeling instead? Some people on the site were commenting about a Tucson get together. Well, let's get together....out on the trail?
RUN: Lopez Pass and Sycamore Canyon Loop in the Santa Rita Mountains
WHEN: Sat, 12/18
MEETING PLACE: Mcdonalds on the South side of Irvington Road just west of I-19 (a few miles south of the I-10 !-19 junction).
MEETING TIME: 9:30 (give those Phoenicians some time to come down)
DIFFICULTY: 3.0+ (there are a few tricky spots)
This trail starts off in the town of Sahuarita. The road climbs the Santa Rita Mountains past old mining areas before toping out at over 5000-feet on Lopez Pass. From there we'll make a group decision.
1. Head down into Sycamore Canyon. It's pretty scenic here as the road loops the canyon and winds up back in Sahuarita. There's a few tricky spots in this area.
2. Head down into the Santa Rita OHV area and wind around trails there. Very scenic too, though a bit more driving for the Phoenicians. Tricky spots are a planty here too.
Either way, there lots of fun to be had in this area. So, come on out! It'll be a great day for Becky and myself. I'll drive the 100 and Becky will drive the 80. Tag Team cruisin'!
