Events
We're happy to get back to one of the more scenic sites in our event calendar. On Sunday, January 9, we present a Score-O with two options starting just north of the Rock Springs Cafe (southwest on the frontage road off I-17 exit 242). For those looking for a limited amount of navigation, we're offering a 1.5-hour Score-O. Those looking for a more adventurous day can stay out for 3.0 hours. Both events use the same map.
The terrain surrounding the Rock Springs Cafe is rugged in spots. The Agua Fria river cuts through the Black Canyon west of the event start/finish, with several 400 foot cliffs dropping down to the river. Don't worry, we won't take you over the cliffs. A spur of the Black Canyon Trail takes hikers to the main trail. A couple slot canyons and a waterfall are bonus attractions. The vegetation in the area is mostly passable with a few places where participants will need to pick routes around thickets. The scenery throughout is spectacular. Plan to take a few photos during your event.
