Orme Bypass

This route starts on the south side of Highway 169 and ends close to I-17. In dry conditions, this is a maintained dirt road that stretches 12.2 miles which any vehicle can make. If there has been moderate precipitation, parts of this road turn into very slippery clay-based mud with some slight uphill areas that will require a 4x4 rig. The first part of this route goes through a residential area, so please slow down. After the first section, the route enters the Prescott National Forest. There are camping areas along this route and other outdoor recreation activities like hiking and OHV riding. Most of this route is traveling up and down rolling hills until you reach pavement right before the I-17.
