I’ve mentioned the Backcountry Adventures Arizona book several times now. So, what’s it all about exactly?
The book is pretty simple. It covers all of Arizona, and some amazing rides and areas to visit. The book includes full color pictures of the suggested routes, maps, and turn by turn GPS instructions. The authors really went for extreme detail.
While I’m not an “off roader”, I’m guessing I’m an “off roader light”. Ever since finding the Promised Land with Andy and Brooke this past summer, I’ve enjoyed heading out onto the back roads of Arizona looking to see what’s out there.
What I’ve found in the book are reasonable rides for guys like me, and more challenging rides for those who want to have their big Jeeps with power winches, cool little shovels, etc. It covers everything, and there’s a ride for most any off road skill level. Extremely cool if you ask me.
Since I’ve picked up the book I’ve selected several upcoming trips. Several will be super long, but I think they hold some amazing sites. I know, I still haven’t found that set of cliff dwellings out near Perkinsville. I’m still looking, and hopefully I’ll find them this Spring.
Look forward to my next free day, I’ll be heading out exploring once more!

We’ve used the BACKCOUNTRY ADVENTURES book for years. We’re native Arizonans and it’s taken us a lot of places we’ve never been to before. It’s terrific and a lot of fun to combine with geocaching.
Rich,
Granny J is having problems with her Mac, but her “Mac Guy” has been at CES in Vegas. Go to her blog and see today’s post (1-10-2008), written from AK by her dotter, OmegaMom. Unfortunately, there’s already one SPAM in Granny J’s comments. She’s a damsel in need. Can you get ahold of her via The Raven Cafe or Coyote Radio?

Ah, I’ll mail you a note in a few moments “Friend of Granny J” with my phone number. She can give a buzz tomorrow and we’ll see what we can do!
Bill, I’m really enjoying the book! Just super stuff! Never had remote guides like it back in NH.
I picked up a similar book for the state of Oregon from the “off the beaten path” series.
I tend to enjoy traveling in out of the way places over the more well known tourist destinations.
Out of the way you find the best spots. Seems the super popular spots don’t have the sparkle that your own private spot has!
