The Cinders (Flagstaff, AZ)
The cinders is an OHV area located just outside of Flagstaff, AZ and its close enough for us desert dwellers to escape the heat in the summer time.
The best I can describe it is very similar to the dunes, except instead of sand its very small gravel, volcanic gravel.
Setting up camp, no fancy RV for us, we tent it!
The quads and bikes race up $100 hill, while the rest of us look on.
My co-pilot
Still some snow on top of The San Francisco Peaks, Humphreys Peak is the highest point in the state of Arizona at 12,633 feet.
the drags
Kinda looks like I may actually have some speed in this one.

I have seen rails do it, but mostly bikes and quads, most quads don't make it all the way. I've never witnessed a full size vehicle try it, however I saw a video of a chevy truck try it on youtube, he didn't get very far.

You take great pictures by the way. If you're in Flagstaff again there's some really rocky pipeline roads off of Leupp road if you're looking for something to do. I live around there I just did some exploring a few weeks back

We usually go up every may, I took my truck this last time.
Was up in Williams a couple weeks ago for Bearizona and stopped in at the arboretum on the way back.
