Stock Tacoma Trails in Arizona?

Wanted to take out the taco for some trails this weekend, any trail recommendations for a stock 4x4 Off Road.

 

Where are you located in AZ?

 

I’m in the east valley but willing to travel up north to catch cooler weather this time of year.

 

Let's send you to cool country. Head to Flagstaff, get a Coconino NF map, it will show a TON of public dirt roads. They are numbered on the map and on site, so easy to follow where you are.

Get away from town and humans for the best experience.

To get you started:
In Flagstaff, go west on Old 66. Turn south on the Woody Mountain Road (the Woody Mtn Campground is on the corner, a good landmark). Woody Mtn Rd is also Forest Route 231. It starts paved, and you will cross over I-40. After a few miles, the pavement will give way to graded dirt. Keep watch for FR231. About 20 miles south of Route 66, FR231 will take a hard left and head SE. After 27 miles from Rt 66, you will be rewarded with a spectacular view of Oak Creek and red rocks below you (at East Pocket Knob LO).

Watch for other roads in the area for more private scenic look-outs, good dispersed camping too.

Of course, if the roads are wet, all bets are off.

I know that lots of public lands in AZ are currently closed due to fire restrictions -- you may want to check on that.

The red numbers in the red boxes are the road numbers:

 

Some more low-hanging Flagstaff locations:
- Cinder Hills OHV, Highway 89 NE of Flag
- Grand Falls on the Little Colorado River
- Shultz Pass north of Flag is a higher-elevation scenic drive with access to lots of forest roads
- Lava Tubes, NW of Flag
- Hart Prairie, Fern Mountain on the west side of the San Francisco Peaks
- With your FS map, look for a road which circumnavigates the San Francisco Peaks
- Drive to the top of Mt Elden

 

Awesome thanks for the information, I’ll take a look at these!
