Collosal cave - Arizona Trail

Hi all,

Someone posted that one of their resupplies is at collosal cave, but I don’t see anything available there. Am I missing something, or are they hiking into Vail which is near there?

Thanks

Yes, we sent a box to the store there after calling for permission. They were very enthusiastic about helping but he “store” just had candy and sodas. We got our box, then caught a ride there into Tucson.

A better idea is to call La Posta Ranch and ask if they will hold your box. There is a side trail off the AZT right to them as you traverse the AZT above the ranch. You could probably get a hitch easily to Tucson if you wanted.

Oops…La Posta Quemada Ranch is the right name. You can probably reach them at 520.647.PARK (7275)

Is there a way to get fuel (white gas or unleaded) at either of these places? (Trying to stay close to the trail).

Are you shipping or trying to resupply on trail?
I don’t remember seeing a gas pump.

If you are sending food you can put fuel in your package too and ship by ground if your box, fuel container, and box label meet requirements.
