Lost Dutchman road?

The Lost Dutchman State Park is very nice with some great trails to hike. As for travel beyond the pavement, you have about 22-23 miles from start to finish, it often is wash board like so plan on 2 hours or more minimum. Fish Creek Hill going from top to bottom is highly preferred as you will be on the inside next to the terrain not on the drop off side. It is not for the "faint of heart". The hill is mostly one lane with enough wide enough spots to pass. You'll usually see oncoming traffic far enough in advance to pull over and wait for them to approach and pass or vice versa. We've done it with the 1181. Just gear down so you don't have to ride the brakes for the 3 mile decent! I put into 4 wheel low and went at a fast walk pace. There is a nice campground 6 miles from the end of the gravel, so roughly 16-17 miles after starting gravel. The campground is called "Burnt Corral" and you can find it in the Tonto National Forest web page. Plenty of nice spots with many along the waters edge. No electric or dump out! You'll need to get a camp permit online or from a retail vendor as you cannot pay when you get to the camp. The scenery on this road is some of the best you'll find in Arizona. Early in the day while the light angles are still low will give you the best photos and viewing. There are also some boondock spots. Once you get to Roosevelt Dam and pavement, you'll have two choices on direction to travel either way is good. Kind of depends on what and where you want to see or do next and timeline. P.M. me if you'd like more details or respond here. The best advice on traveling beyond L.D. State park is, take your time, watch the road and don't worry about the A hole that comes up behind you, just let em go around when you get a wide spot. If you get the "single finger salute" or horn from some impatient moron, just think of it as a "howdy Welcome to Arizona" gesture!
