The meetup time is 10:00 a.m. at the Chevron station at 11230 N US Highway 89, Flagstaff, AZ 86004. This meetup time allows those driving up from the valley Saturday morning to make this run. From the Chevron station, we'll head out to The Cinders for a day of exploring this unique area. You may also choose to camp (check the weather) or stay in a hotel before or after.

Vehicle Requirements

Stock 4x4 vehicles with good off road tires can do The Cinders but if you're stock, expect some difficulty at times. Street or street-like tires are not advisable. If you're stock you may not make all of the hills that vehicles with lockers and more aggressive tires can make, but that won't limit the fun you'll have in this unique environment.
