Mount Ord 2.5

​Mt Ord is almost 7000' elevation, so it is a nice place to be in hot weather, but not so good after a cold winter storm.
This trip is an enjoyable way to spend a short day out in the brush.  A fairly easy trail with great scenery.

We like to do the northern 4WD part of the trail first, but it certainly can be done in any direction.  Doing it from the north gets the easy 2.5 challenges out of the way and then you can putz around some easy roads and coast on home.

​There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

The northern 4WD road is Forest Service Road #27.  It has a couple tippy spots and numerous areas of gullies caused by erosion over the years.  Probably on the easy side of the 2.5 rating.

The main road to the peak (#626) is a well graded road suitable for most vehicles.  The road is gated before actually reaching the peak.

​Nice views toward Four Peaks and Roosevelt Lake.

There is no problem finding a lunch spot with a view.  You might even see a prescribed burn beyond the Mogollon Rim.

When you are done exploring the high country head on down the west end to Highway 87.
