Hi we are looking for some people who have 4x4 quads who like to ride the sand washes of the desert and the snow of northern AZ.We own a Arctic Cat 300 4x4 and a Polaris 250 4x4 and go out usualy 2 weekends a month,camping also!

 

I'm thinking of taking a trip from Maryland to arizona over the next 5 weeks. What is the weather like? Is there some good riding this time of year or is it real cold?

 

Well-how does 80-85 with overnight temps in the hi40-hi50's OR 50-60 with overnite temps from 30-45 hit you? That is one of the greatest things about AZ-though it is unseasonably warm this year(10-15 above normal) even in a more normal year you can go from Phoenix at 70 and drive 2-3 hours north and go skiing in Flagstaff. Lots of great riding in both areas,no matter which part of the state you are going to. And ,I have to say it,if you are going to be this close you are missing the best riding that there is if you don't make a trip to Glamis!

 

Yes I've been to glamis and gordonwells and buttercup several times now but that was back when I had the banshee and blaster however dunes are no longer a part of my trips since all I have is 4x4s now.

And as for weather phoenix is getting kinda warm already however flagstaff is still cold as usual just no snow yet!
