I started looking at the area around Horseshoe Lake, campgrounds like Mesquite and Catfish Point. Anyone know anything about that area?

Thanks for the quick responses! Even without shade it'd still be fun.

I forgot to mention that we're going somewhere in between March 13-20, if that changes anything.

A couple of friends and I are looking for a place to car camp for a couple days, normally I'd cruise up to the rim and camp near the lakes but I'd like to be someplace warmer. So does anyone know of an area/forest road that has: Seclusion Trees Nice weather this time of year Accessible by truck (I m...

Unfortunately I can't comment on the road conditions. Long story short, I was trying to use a 25 year old map that my dad had in the truck, which made navigation difficult to say the least. After some discussion my friend and I decided to park at the F - Cross trailhead and then took the Little Sadd...

Thanks for clearing up the map issue. Now that I look at it it's easy to see that what's labeled as a road on one of the maps is called Saddle Mountain Trail on another. Maybe once I buy myself a jeep I'll have to take a drive down the 25a, but puncturing the Suburban's oil pan doesn't sound like mu...

For hiking it's a great truck since both me and my dad (whose close to 6 foot and over 200lbs) could both sleep in the back if we got stranded somewhere without a tent. For referenc...

Wow, thanks for all the quick responses! I'm going up there next week and will most likely take a hike up the 25A based on your recommendations. I'll make sure to report back with plenty of pictures and road conditions. A couple of quick questions though. Is there sufficient room at the 25/25A junct...

I'm going to use a big 4x4 Suburban to try and get to the Thicket Spring/Cornucopia loop. Should I use the northern Peeley trail head or go south for Mormon Grove?
