Bull Springs Road is about an hour south of Tucson. Very easy trail.

Here is the Experience AZ review
We will be using the Charles Wells Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4WD Trails (2nd Edition) as our guide.

I am going to strap my BBQ in the bed of my truck and bring a large ice chest. I'll have Brats and we can BBQ somewhere along the trail.

If I was in tucson I would make it out this sounds like a good time. Have fun!

 

Nice area, should be fun for a night run. I've done some javi huntin in that area and have explored the trails quite a bit, including Ruby gt.

 

Got stuck behind these guys for a few minutes:

Otherwise this was a pretty cool run, with a little bit of everything.

 

good meeting you James. fun little night run, we need to do it again in the daylight or when i when my KC's are installled so we can actually find Alto Camp and the mine shafts.

 

Rug Road camp out was intense. It took us 9 hours (with some stops along the way) to go about 25 miles. Some of us got body damage.

 

Good meeting you as well, and thanks for letting me lead so I could dial in my lights

 

Wow that's crazy. FYI from what I understand Bull Springs was a little rougher than it has been in the past as well. The first section of the trail was definitely tougher than the Charles Wells Guide and online reviews would lead you to believe. It was nothing that good clearance couldn't help though, we just had to take it slow.

 

yeah, it is definitely rougher. the water crossing was pretty deep to.

Dan and I had a similar experience with a cotton-tail rabbit. It was just running in front of us for about a quarter mile before it hopped off the road.
