Multi Shots from the trail.

LOL...I didn't take a pic, but the coke ovens are overlooking the Gila river. I tried to cross it but it was a bit too high for my liking.

I was just reading through that link you posted, nice history there! Seems like a nice place if idiots wouldn't screw it up for the rest of us.

Yeah...plenty of area around it, fortunately.

I love all the scenery you guys ride around! But all that desert 🏜 I thought you needed some water trails to cool off

Yeah, I wouldn't cross it either. My buddy tells me it has been crossable in the past but I've never seen it low enough to want to try.

This burst of photos was in Feb of 2019 right at the Gila River, it had recently rained and the river was flowing pretty good.

I've crossed it a few times, and honestly probably could have yesterday. But with the flow and muddy water I fear a deep hole might jump out at me. I actually went about 1/2 way across up at Cochran, but that north side tends to have a deep pool right where you climb out, so I chickened out.

Here is a link to stream flow gauge just up river:

Streamflow levels and water data for Gila River At Kelvin, AZ. Access stream gauge data and latest weather forecast for Arizona USGS Gauge: 09474000.

Anything around 200 or less is usually no biggie. 1st time I ever crossed it, it was literally like a wide creek with people sitting in the middle in chairs, so it was a real surprise to come back later with waterflows up in the 500 range (before I found the site I linked to) and see a real, raging river.

Riding at Royal Blue Tennessee.
Kind of a long day for a p500.
But happy pics here.

Edit: forgot to mention it’s a club group ride.

I really would have liked to have seen the old train while I was back there. Hope people aren't trashing it.
