This photo was taken in September 1998 at the Tucson Rough Riders Trail Dust Days 4x4
festival. This trail was Romero Canyon on the north side of the Santa Catalina
mountain range. The Catalinas have peaks that are nearly 10,000 feet and the terrain is
very rough. Romero canyon is a dead end, terminating short of the main ridge of the range.
On this run, only 3 vehicles elected to run the trail. I had come from San Diego especially to attend
Trail Dust Days (TDD) to run trails with the 411 and the Rough Riders.
This section is narrow, and has big ruts.
