Daily user fee is $5, $40 for an annual pass.

Finish hiking by 2:00 PM to avoid almost daily monsoon rains and thunderstorms which occur from June to September.

Description

This trail parallels and is sometimes in creek beds leading up to a spur with a beautiful vista. The trail is hard to find so it is seldom used resulting in the trail being slightly overgrown. Use the Hiking Project mobile app to find the trailhead (100 yards west of mile post 293 on HWY 64).

Trail is marked with red diamonds. White arrows in red rectangles are used at sharp turns.

Flora & Fauna

Several varieties of pine tree. Various animal scat to include elk and bear.
