Forest Road 687

The access road was wash boardy, but wide and clear. Only 1 or 2 sketchy spots at the end for our rental 23 foot RV’ but worth the adventure.

Really enjoyed our stay here. the only bad part was traveling up Middlemarch Rd extreme washboard for 10+ miles. Once you hit FR 687 it gets a little hairy if you have a larger rig. Narrow with tree branches and dips. We made it in OK with our 35' TH, but you better scout it before you pull in. There were only a couple of places tha... more

FR 687 is accessed from North Middlemarch Rd, off Hwy 80 just north of Tombstone. Middlemarch Rd is badly washboarded - I drove much of the way in at 10-15 mph with the trailer, not knowing what was coming up, and I had cabinet doors open and stuff fall out.

Granted the road is pretty bumpy to get there with a 35 feet bus with low clearance, but it is well worth the washboard ride and the few wash crossings to be in such a spectacular setting. And a bonus for us is that it's home to tons of awesome rock climbing routes 3 minutes away. Last yes, we camped right at the bottom of the Strongho... more

This lat/lon represents the start of Forest Road 687 when it connects to Middlemarch Road. Middlemarch is a wide maintained gravel road but can be washboardy in places. Drive 10 miles to 687, turn left and cross a cattleguard and there are miles of dispersed sites with fire rings all along the west side of the Dragoon Mountains. Some s... more
