Walker Gulch to Senator Highway and Crown King

This route is a spectacular alternative to Cow Creek Road. This route offers some obstacles. However, they're less technical than Cow Creek's. The beauty is traveling the Walker Gulch as it winds and elevation changes. This is a great route if those driving with you are less experienced off-road or just want an easy, fun day without major gatekeepers and waterfalls. If desired, the return home ride can include Cow Creek by passing Walker Gulch and staying left onto the upper West Cow Creek Road. Either way, it takes approximately the same return time to Lake Pleasant. This route can also save time for Crown King or Prescott because it bypasses the obstacles on Cow Creek.
