Anyone been to the slot canyon RD is talking about?
Not sure on the mileage but I can make it there with a stock tank on my crf450. We then have fuel waiting for us then fly down Alamo road to the 40 for the trip back.Whats the mileage to get to Alamo? I want to check it out on my bike.
Anyone have a GPX file of the ride?
The guy that owns the thrifty I’ve cream by my house is big into off-roading with his FJ. He has all the nav files. Said it would be about five hours round trip.

??? Alamo road runs north/south?I saw it on google earth it’s just north of Alamo road and will take you to the lake as well.
Any weekend but this weekend. Let’s plan it! I’m ok with overnight or one day.
Tom if you want to overnight I can haul all the shit in the ranger so you can ride your bike if ya want.
There will be nothing at all on "this side" of Alamo. So no gas closest gas is back in havasu or the 95&40 as there is no station in yucca anymore.Once I do the run I’ll have it on my gps for future but I have never done this run. I can get us to the cabin but that’s about as far as “I know”. Looks easy enough tho. Do they have fuel at Alamo Lake?

I’ll have an empty seat joeDamn, that looks like a lot of fun. Anyone need a passenger??!! Would love to come out for a weekend and do some off-roading.
Andy when do your wheels and tires come in?I’d go, but need to get my wheels and tires. Still working on the order, that said I’m in. Tom I’d likely roll solo so you’d be more than welcome to hop in the passenger seat.

If they have fuel there I can run it on the bike for sure.
Let me know when you go and I will roll out.I’ll have an empty seat joe
There is fuel at the Wayside inn. You will likely go past it on your way to the lake. If you come across the desert on the 15 road, you will go right by a slot canyon. Cant remember the name, I just drive there. You will see an old school bus, turn uphill. Again I just drive there in the RZR from the lake.
There is another slot or "mud"canyon within striking distance. Go past the Wayside inn, heading towards Wickenburg. Turn North(ish) on Palmaritas rd. when you cross Date Creek, there is a Mud Canyon visible to the Northeast. If you continue on Palamritas Road, you will find yourself at the Old Palmaritas Ranch. The BLM is restoring it right now. Its right down in the Santa Maria River bed. Historic place, lots to see. There was a casino there at one time.
Striking part of Arizona, lots of history.
PT, I would call the Wayside before counting on fuel, they've been know to be closed.

This is all on the opposite side of the lake. Unless they cross bill Williams before the lake to end up on the south side of the lake. From havasu they would be hitting the north side of the lake.
We might need you to carry all of our stuff and gas lolI may go in the Rubicon. I might be an anchor if everyone is in a SXS though, but I would have gas.
How many miles round trip?This is all on the opposite side of the lake. Unless they cross bill Williams before the lake to end up on the south side of the lake. From havasu they would be hitting the north side of the lake.
So, no access to fuel from Havasu?

If you look at the dirt road that comes in from the lower right hand corner of the photo, the Wayside is visible there, on that road. From there you can go around the Lake on the 15 road, which is marked on the photo. I think the 15 road goes all the way to Needles
where do i get a map with all the places that keep getting mentioned in here? I want to be able to go exploring out in the desert and would like to have a good referance.
