Turkey Creek is a fun trail with lots of opportunity to hop out and explore some old Mine Ruins.  We will run the trail North to South from Cleator back down to Bumblebee.  Meetup is the staging area that is shortly after you leave pavement.  From there, we’ll hit the graded dirt road and drive up towards Cleator where we can hop out and check out the “Yacht Club” for a few minutes before we turn down the trail.

There are a few spots where we could see water along this route depending on what the weather does and a couple obstacles that will challenge you if you choose not to take the bypasses.

To get there, take the Bumblebee exit off I-17 and head west.  You will continue down Crown King Road for a mile or two and hit dirt, shortly after that is the staging area off to the left where we will meet up, air down and be on our way.

There is a high likelihood that we will have some Jeeps and other vehicles along for the ride since some of us will be coming directly from the Desert Rat Coffee and Crawlers event that morning.
