. I'm heading out that way this Spring so I'm going to put this on my to do list of things to see. It's about thirty miles off I-17 on Bloody Basin Road through the Tonto National Forest isn't it? It looks like you took Cave Creek Road at the junction and came to the bridge from the North and came out on Bloody Basin Road. Anyway, thanks for sharing your four day trip with us.
Yeah, do the loop. I think coming in via Bloody Basin and descending east to the Verde, then exit south to Cave Creek is the best way to see the views. Either way, it takes 3-4 hours of slow travel to get there. I didn't air down my tires this time because my compressor died, but it's a good idea for the rocky last ten miles.
