The Experience
Camping at Fort Tuthill puts you right in the action. Wake up to the smell of pine needles and coffee, spend the day learning and exploring, and end it with films, raffles, and stories by the fire. It's a high-altitude adventure festival.
Location: Fort Tuthill County Park
Located just south of Flagstaff, Fort Tuthill offers a stunning natural setting at 7,000 feet. The weather can be anything from sunny and warm to snowing, sometimes in the same day—so bring layers!

Trip Details (To Be Determined)
We're putting out feelers to see who's interested in making this an East Bay group expedition. It's a longer haul than SoCal (approx. 11-12 hours from East Bay), so the journey is half the fun.
- Caravan formatting for the long drive
- Potential stopovers in Mojave or along Route 66
- Group camping coordination (tickets sell out fast!)
