Yes, we know Quartzite itself is a zoo this time of year. But we'd like to see the spectacle. (Briefly) Let me share the context...
We're fleeing the cold and snow of Durango, CO and crave warmer climes. We've never explored SE Arizona so thought why not? Plus Sioux is an obsessed bird watcher and the Lower Colorado River is hopefully 'birdy' this time of year.
We're driving down Sunday and then have five days to boondock, light hiking and nature watching plus hopefully SUN! Then we need to drive back on Saturday but could meander back north sooner if there are some good (and still semi-warm) areas to see. (But we don't want to turn this into a driving marathon.)
We're thinking Kofa for sure. Other not-too-intense 4WD roads (light on people) with decent campsites/scenery suggestions would be MUCH appreciated. We have a 4WD Ram 3500 with a flatbed Grandby and good self-rescue capabilities but prefer never to use them! (At almost 67 I find myself increasingly 'conservative'.)
Many thanks, Steve
