Okay Arizona, time to get the tires dirty. You've got time to plan this one as it is a month away and a full two weeks after Memorial Day weekend.
Sunflower Mine is NE of Phoenix on Highway 87, heading towards Payson. :link: This is a moderately hard trail with some good rock gardens through which we pass. Can only be called moderately hard as I've gone through it several times without a locker and I think I've only had to be pulled up one spot. I think this is one of the more fun and challenging trails in the area and is perfect for Hummers.
Rock rails and UCP are highly recommended though Jerry S. has run this without. And this would be the trail that my t-case met a rock, and the rock won.
Saturday, June 9th
Meet at Hwy 87 and Ft. McDowell Road Chevron, 9 am :link:
Bring lunch, beverages, your recovery gear, spare parts, etc. Newbies are welcome but please have at least good tires and the basic protection for your truck.
