Easiest King Crown route?

What's the easiest route to the cabins are King Crown? Some buddies and I have been talking about heading up there for a weekend but my truck is stock other than the lift so I gotta take the east way.

^ yup that is correct

 

Can I get to the Crown King Saloon with that trail?

 

Yeah. Its pretty much a graded road the whole time, its like that for a reason. So everything can pretty much make it.

 

Which trail is this?

Looks like the semi-famous "Backway" to Crown King route from the south, which can be the most difficult.

A lesser known but still fun backway is from the west via Wagoner Road... about one notch easier than the one above.

The Senator Hwy from the north is extremely easy, and like others have mentioned, a passenger car can do the main route from the I-17 Bumblebee exit.

All roads will get you to the saloon.

 

How easy is the trail off Senator Highway? Do you know where I can get more info on that route? I like some good off roading but I won't do anything that is really extreme.

 

It's a typical forest road, high clearance recommended, non-4x4. It starts in Prescott and goes south to Crown King.
