Jeeping the back way to Crown King

 Today we got up early to meet with Steve's Jeep club to take the back route from Lake Pleasant to Crown King.

I hope the vultures in the trees aren't an omen for what's to come today!

The trail started out quite pleasant enough.

And then it got a bit steeper.

And turned from a road to more of an obstacle course.

There were several areas that needed rock climbing skills.

.... And high enough clearance to not need to be towed!

We eventually made it to Crown King and had a bite to eat at the Saloon, before driving back the normal route to Phoenix.
