Access Description

This is easily accessed from Highway 260. The turn-out can be hard to see, and if coming from the Show Low area, it can be tough to turn left as there is no turn lane on the highway. You can also access it from FR300, FR135, FR136. For these routes, a high-clearance vehicle is recommended, and depending on time of year, 4WD.
