Quartzsite/Parker AZ 2/15-16/2015

Ran out to Quartzsite AZ this weekend to do a little wheeling with may Dad and his group. Sunday we ran up to parker to take some visitors to the Desert Bar. We go in the back way which is a fun trail and usually leave the trail and take the wash most of the way. We did parts of Presidents Choice and Deliverance. Then on Monday we took the back way into "Big Foot" which is a tight trail that crosses a wash numerous times and you can do the trail or parts of the wash and make it as hard as you like. The wash is nothing but boulders and I really liked this trail and I think my Norcal buddies would love this one. You could make a entire day out of it if you stayed in the wash with some very difficult sections. All in All and great weekend :thumb:

I don't really keep track of the trail names but there is plenty to do here. Not many pictures and taken from my phone or by others.

Presidents Choice - 13 Foot waterfall that has been severely undercut. You can see the by-pass in the back which is pretty gnarly in itself.

The TJ's fit right through these spots - the rocks on my left are filling in a washout at the edge of a 30 foot drop.
