Verde Valley Wheelin' Roads?

Saturday, Susun and I drove out to Sycamore Pass and Robber's Roost. That run is described in the blog post above this one. This was our first experience with the OHV road and trail system the Coconino Nat'l Forest put in place in 2005.  They have put up at least one cool new sign (so far it's not shot up) showing the roads in this vicinity.

There's a couple of maintained roads that provide access to the maze of all the other routes. Smoky has classified the roads from easy to extreme and they are all color coded on a signboard map. They sell a six dollar map that I plan to buy either today or tomorrow. This large area appears to have the potential to be a real playground for Zuks.

This is one area where camping is allowed on the Forest.  There's a huge chunk of land around Sedona where all camping is prohibited unless you go into a developed campground.  I picked up the camping map and OHV map ($6) today in Sedona.

This might be a great place for a ZOA annual spring camp trip. The photos below are pretty self explanatory.  We will post up more here when we learn more.  (You can click on any image below to see a larger version.)
We definitely plan on spending more time in this area.
