I accidentally selected my pickup/issuing location as Kanab. I am substantially closer to page though. Can I pickup my permit for the wave at page even though I accidentally selected Kanab? I won daily permit for 5/21 so I’d be picking up tomorrow at 8:30am

Hi I’m about to embark on a trip to Arizona. I have a permit to hike coyote buttes south but am too afraid to utilize the sandy road system they have out there to access the actual Pawhole or Cottonwood cove trailhead. Ive never driven in sand and will be utilizing a jeep gladiator Mojave edition for this trip.

I know there is the lone tree lot, which is where im planning on parking, but how far away is that from the pawhole trailhead. And also is it possible to hike from Pawhole to cottonwood cove?

I’ve looked into the blm roads and if I was to actually attempt it, it seems like 1017-1066-1081-1082 would be the move but I can’t find any videos or info on this route besides that it may be slightly easier than directly driving east from Pawhole to cottonwood cove.

Thanks for the help, just very anxious about getting there 🙂

Howdy friends and nature lovers! Hoping some fine folks out there could help with a few loose ends in my upcoming 9-day dispersed tent camping trip to Arizona.

I feel like this is going to be less of a problem than I actually anticipate, but I just want to be safe than sorry y’know? I’m driving from Denver, CO down to NM, and then finally to AZ. My brief itinerary is as follows:

Day one: drive south, camp approximately at Gallup, NM.

Day two: blue mesa trail, Petrified forest NP, then drive to Marble Canyon Dispersed camping.

Day three: explore coyote buttes south/white pocket and then camp at white pocket dispersed camping.

Day four: white pocket/buckskin gulch, then drive to Alstrom Point for camp that night

Day five: drive south to Grand Canyon and hike to Ooh Ah point via SK trail, catch sunset, hotel for night to shower.

Day six: Humphreys peak, from there Apache trail scenic drive to Apache junction/phoenix adjacent camp site.

Day seven: explore West Saguaro NP, maybe check out tombstone, drive to our next campsite in Bisbee.

Day eight: drive back north to CO, probably stop somewhere approximately adjacent to Socorro, NM give or take how much we want to drive.

Day nine: drive home return car.

So I’ve only been to AZ once as a child. Im so excited to go cause it feels like the first time. I just want to be prepared. I’ve done plenty of camping prior to this in Colorado, so it’s not my first rodeo, however it is a completely different environment.

We are somewhat concerned about the wildlife considering we’re tent camping. I’ve read about scorpions, tarantulas, Gila monsters, javelina. How much should I actually worry about this?

Secondly, for our one campsite in Bisbee, I chose it because it’s downright beautiful, but it is also within ~10-15 miles of the border. This is gonna sound stupid, but here goes, how likely is it that there will be an interaction with potential cartel members? I feel like stupid for asking. Once again I’ve never camped here, and just need to make sure I’ve checked all my bases cause I’m particularly anal about planning trips.

Any other tips for tent camping in the desert would be appreciated. And yes for the record, I’m aware I do need the permit for coyote buttes south, I have obtained one for the day I’m going to be in the area. I’m also aware that the paths to get to some of these places requires a high clearance 4WD vehicle. I’ve made accommodations for this and am fully ready for what I’m getting myself into. However having never actually tent camped there I just wanted some insight as to what to realistically expect with these worries. Thank you so much, and I appreciate all the help and information 😄
