Trail Overview

First off, you will need a permit from recreation.gov and six months of codes for each gate surrounding Bulldog Canyon. The permit will be under the Tonto National Forest Off-Highway Vehicle Permit. This is a part of the Willow Springs Trail. This trail starts as Willow Springs but goes back into Bulldog Canyon. This is a very rocky and off-camber trail that gets really rough the further back you get into it.

This trail is rated 6 but as you get deeper into the canyon, it gets really to a 8, with deep mud holes, loose rock, and close to 8-foot ledges. It can get really crazy really quick.
