With my family. Started and ended at the Cottonwood Canyon/Elk Ridge turn off in Indian Creek. Rode the good dirt road up towards the high country and Cathedral Butte, then took a seldom used path to Beef Basin. Camped and explored here before heading out through the Grabens/Bobby's Hole and eventually over Elephant Hill to the pavement in the Needles front country. Connected back to the car via 15 miles of highway 211.
All told some 85 miles with a good mix of scenic dirt roads and super techy jeep tracks.
Finding water in Beef Basin was the crux. Had there been none we would have suffered a bit. Summer here has been dry, and no early fall precip yet, so we were a bit concerned, but it worked out as shown in one of the pics.
