AN OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE CLUB
IN CENTRAL ARIZONA
The Verde Valley 4 Wheelers is a group of enthusiastic four-wheelers who are interested in back country adventure. We meet once a month to plan our trail runs which are mostly day-trips, but can also be extended overnight events. Club members annually assist the U.S. Forest Service in offroad trail clean-up.
The Club supports responsible four-wheeling on established off-highway trails, rated from easy to difficult and generally from 2.5 to 4.0 on a scale of 5.0.
Trail runs are throughout Arizona, Utah and Colorado and may include visits to ancient pictographs, breathtaking views and spectacular wildflowers.
