Trail Overview
FS517c is a one-lane rocky trail that cuts through an interesting area of this section of the Coconino National Forest. To the South, you cut through a saddle between two mountain peaks, with rocky terrain, but nothing too unmanageable. As you head North, you'll end up on a high plateau of semi-grassland and mixed pine forest. Along your way, you'll encounter mud ruts and water-dictated terrain with erosion and water damage. At its Northern terminus, you're overlooking an overwhelming view of beauty as the cliff drops off and shows you the vast expanse of wild land of Northern Arizona.
