The brush coming through the Rogers Trough ripped us up and we had to park miles from the trailhead. I've been in via Reavis School a couple miles and similar issues. When on that same trail Reavis Ranch to Circlestone, it was getting rocky. Met with some friends who came in via Reavis School and they refused to go back that way even though they were parked near the school. Have you ridden in that way?

Yes I've been in via Roger's trough and campaign trailheads. If you start at campaign there's a couple different trails too. I'm going by memory, but I think fireline and reavis gap trails? If you have a smallish trailer, like a 3 horse slant or two horse you should be able to make the hairpin turn to Roger's trough, but it is TIGHT. I haven't been in since the burn though and that could be a major game changer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I was down around the school the road was pretty bad and washed out. Would be tough to get a horse trailer back there after it flooded, but that was probably 2 years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The number of roads Tonto had gated off were just stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZDirtyTaco Report post Posted August 23, 2022 Sorry gents, but I couldn't disagree more for a number of reasons. That place was turned into a dump by the equine community that visited the area and those folks should be ashamed of themsleves for doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
