Enjoy the trip!

Tips on how to make the day fun. Awhile back I ventured out onto Diamondback Gulch, a moderate Jeep trail in West Sedona that’s not nearly as well known as Broken Arrow, Soldier Pass, or Schnebly Hill. In fact, on busy Saturdays, it’s one of those trails you can truly enjoy because there will only…

Hatfield-McCoy Trails

  The Hatfield-McCoy Trails (Yes, THOSE Hatfields & McCoys!) are named for two families who could never quite get along near the West Virginia and Kentucky border after the Civil War. We had heard about these trails for some time now and decided to finally make the trip.          The trails are made…

Glamis Dunes opens closed areas

When we wrote our first California guidebook back in 2003, about half of Glamis Dunes south of Highway 78 was closed to motorized use. Environmental groups, led by the Sierra Club, had managed to close 49,000 acres to protect what they said was an endangered plant, called the Peirson’s Milk-Vetch. We were told it was…

First SUV?

While many (most?) of the vehicles we see on the trail are Jeeps in the ‘standard’ form, lately we’ve been noticing a greater number of SUVs. It’s not difficult to guess why SUVs are increasingly popular for exploring the backcountry. They’ve been around nearly as long as the Jeep (and similar short-wheelbase vehicles), and since…
