ROTM - Riggs Flat Lake 

​​Trip Leader: floggerdogger
Author: floggerdogger
August 27 - 28, 2016
Forum Thread: August ROTM Riggs Flat Lake
Date: August 27th, 2016
Time: 9:00 am
Place: Gold Canyon Shell station [7138 US60, Gold Canyon, AZ 85118]

Route Description: US-60 E and US-70 E (Safford, AZ); S 20th Avenue S (JD’s Grill House) to Discovery Park Blvd E; SR-191 S to AZ-366 W in Swift Trail Junction; AZ-366 W to Riggs Flat Lake.


This run gets us to 8600’ with NF campsites and dispersed camping as well (first come, first serve).

Riggs Flat Lake is part of the Pinaleno Mountains, better know as Mount Graham, which is the highest of Arizona's Sky Island mountain ranges and are the only range with peaks higher than 10,000 feet in elevation. Sky islands are isolated mountains surrounded by radically different lowland environments.

This is a 4.5 hour trip without any side excursions. This is a ‘stocker-friendly’ event that includes a little bit of everything in the great outdoors without the HEAT!! Click here for the details.


Well . . . for two reasons that was a great run:

A. NO RAIN
B. It never got above 70 degrees!!

I want to thank @Dimples and son, @Stepmurr, @Dissent and his kids, Alvis with sister Julie and their "Boss" Jeff.

In total we had four 80's, a 100, and @Stepmurr's Tacoma

@Stepmurr and CJ have done some additional scouting and I would like to do this again next ROTM July at an undeveloped site that sits right on the edge of the mountain with plenty of room for everyone AND 'facilities' nearby for those needing such luxuries. We will need chainsaws and chains to spruce the place up a little but I think it would be a great destination site for a 3-dayer . . . . 
. . . on the way . . .
. . . stoppin to put on outer wear . . .
. . . Alvis showing off . . .
. . . LOOK . . . NO RAIN!! . . .
. . . views from possible future campsite . . .
Oh . . . I almost forgot . . . just ONE mishap on the way . . .
. . . and Discount Tire said there was nothing noticeably wrong with tire . . . TWICE!! . . .
