Four Wheeling in the
Wilderness
Perkingston and Jerome
During
the early or mid spring after a good wet winter,this trip is a good
adventure filled with allot of color under a bright blue sky. If your
not trekking in the wilderness,then wheeling is the next best thing.
Bring a camera and a picnic basket, because there will be plenty of
click - click and plenty of snack - snack. If you don't want to kick
back and soak in the views and there are plenty, then take a stroll in
the town of Jerome. This small artist community is a popular spot with
all who find themselves in the town center.
Directions:
1. Drive to Chino Valley via Highway 89.
2. At the Perkingston turn off (Perkston Road) - Turn Right
3. When you reach the 'T' in the road (otherwise the end of the road) -
Turn right for Perkinston or Turn Left for Jerome.
Road Condictions:
For a forest service road, this one is well maintained. Graved in most
areas and somewhat bumpy in others. Outside of that, it's in good shape.
