Jim Brightly of 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine wrote a detailed report about Homecourt Trail, a punishing off-roading site near Kingman, Ariz., that’s just off the Mother Road.
Homecourt Trail, named for its discoverer, is well-known to the Jeepers of Kingman. It’s rated as a 3+ to 4 and many of the Kingman Jeepers use it as a tune-up and a test trail before trailering up and heading for the Hammers in Johnson Valley, California. […]
Once you’ve found the right canyon, you’ll want to shift into low range and lock up the differentials, ’cause you’re going to need at least one locker to make it through. […]
Enjoy Homecourt but don’t attempt to enjoy it alone. As you can see in the photos, you’ll not want to try this one by yourself. Take at least two vehicles – or more, if possible – and at least one winch.
You might also want to make sure there are more than one spare tire per vehicle – these rocks are sharp! They are not worn smooth by too many tires; this canyon might see only one run per year, if that. Come prepared. I don’t mean to imply that you need two or more spares per Jeep, but one spare per rig is mandatory.
If you aren’t careful, your rig might end up looking like this.
