Az Meet: Broken Arrow, Smiley Rock or Whatever

[smallfry]

You'll be coming up from Prescott, right? If so, once you get into Sedona on 89A, hang a right at 179 and follow that south till you hit Morgan Rd. Turn left (through the traffic circle) onto Morgan Rd and follow it until it ends. That's the trail entrance. I'm not sure if its needed but I would suggest getting a Red Rock Pass.

If you don't plan on stopping then technically, you don't need one. It's 5 bucks and probably better safe than a ticket if you stop too long.

You shouldn't need a pass for Broken Arrow since it's outside the fee zone.

I've done a pink jeep tour before, is this the same trail? Can I find this buy looking it up on google maps? I do not have a CB or any fancy GPS map (other than my phone). I've got a 2" lift, some good tires, and that's about it, that good enough?

About how long is this run? Thinking of bringing my wife and 2 year old.

Thanks!

It might be the pink jeeps, they run a couple of different trails in the area. You can find the trail head here: Broken Arrow 4x4 Trail | EveryTrail

The trail won't take to long there's a few places to stop along the way that you can get out for the views. Just parking might be tight in those areas.

The first post is updated with the run information.

Is my 2" lift going to be enough? Will we need to air down our tires? If so, I don't have a compressor, i'll need to borrow someone's.

We wont need a Red Rock Pass. The Forest Service allows you to stop for pictures, stretch, etc as long as you stay with the vehicle. I think the website states 5 minutes even in pass areas.
This is the main trail for Pink Jeeps, however it is the "off season" here. I know there is a scheduled tour for them at 10am.
As far as lift I'm not sure. I'm running my stock 99 talls in the front and 2in lift in the back so I am hoping its enough.
I look forward to this run!

What do you all know about the rug road near flag?

How long it normally take to run broken arrow? Would anyone be interested in running the other trail if time permits. I heard one trail was pretty washed out from the rains in the past

You guys should be fine, I ran this in my old 96 4runner with no lift (old sonoran steel 3 suspension kit). I have a compressor if anyone want to use it.

I also have a compressor. It's small and slow, but it will get the job done. Also looking forward to this run as well. Broken Arrow has been on my radar since I picked up my T4R... Let's hope for good weather and no trail damage!

Sounds good to me guys- nice pics! I also don't have a CB installed yet.

 

[Shoey]

I'm going to be installing a daystar spacer kit on the front today to level out the vehicle. Have a set of spidertrax wheel spacers as well, looking forward to the new look and seeing how it does.

This should be fun.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the trail! Heading out from Chandler shortly.

Leaving my house shortly... see you all at the trail head

 

[4Runner4TW]

I'm lucky that the trail is only 5 minutes from my place. See everyone soon!

Here are the photos I have from today's run. This was a great time and what an amazing trail. Look forward to meeting and off roading again!

 

[4Runner4TW]

I'll work on getting all the video sorted and edited as well. I will post that to this thread too.

 

[smallfry]

One photo for now. I'll have the rest up later tonight.



Good day to get out on the trail and take everyone on the trail.

 

[Shoey]

Great to meet everyone, had a great time today.
