Arizona Broncos is rolling on with our Charity Drive! We will have donation boxes at each trailhead of this and all other group events during the season. See all the details below! Remember, Every donation gets a raffle ticket!
We’re going to chase the sun into the evening and it should be an amazing time! We will start in daylight, roll up the switchbacks as dusk sets in and chase the sunset in to dark as we descend in to Queen Valley
Commonly known as the Montana Mountain Loop, we will run three trails starting with Happy Camp, continuing to Rogers Trough and out on Hewitt Canyon Road ending up at Queen Valley.
We will begin at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum exit staging area on the north side of US 60 outside of Superior and go up the switchbacks and continue along the trail.
Though we’ve run this trail many times, there are spots that change with weather, erosion and use. You will want to be running a minimum of 33 inch tires out here and a rear locker wouldn’t hurt. This is a really fun trail with a little bit of everything.
As always…. On ANY trail in Arizona there is an inherent risk of Arizona pin stripes or
scrapes/scratches. The Arizona Broncos group does not take any responsibility for any damage that may happen along the trail.
