Tower Mountain, AZ

[azmojave]

Did a pre run yesterday for a group ride I’ll be leading in a couple weeks. Tower Mountain is above the town of Crown King, cresting at 7600+ feet. There’s a forest service tower to climb up for great views and pics. The lake in the background is Lake Pleasant to the south. It’s a 30 mile dirt road to Crown King and then a loose, rocky and rutted climb to the top. The Gladiator did great. Check out the name of the road, it didn’t mean anything to me until now.

There’s an awesome trail from Lake Pleasant to Crown King that’s a Badge of Honor trail now. I’ve done it countless times in other vehicles over the years, but it’s a rough one and my stock Gladiator is not ready for that yet.

Will have to look this one up. Have done BWTCK many times and have overlooked this.

Great looking pics!

Usually after going the backway all day we blow off going to the towers, but it’s a great view!

Looks like fun.

We just did a similar thing on the way back from AZ. This is at Corral Canyon OHV area near Pine Valley off I8. The trail up to the tower is easy, but the view is amazing. Been going to this area for many years.

Looks like a fun area. Too bad their map is blurry.

Here is a better one. Sidewinder is a fun one. Did it a few time in the XJ. Not in the JT yet.

Edit: Sorry, I don't want to hi-jack your thread.

Took a group of Jeeps up there again yesterday. We had some snowfall last week, so there was some left on the north side of the mountain. Was a good time.
