Trail Overview
This dusty, windy two track serves as a great off-road bypass into the Town of Payson. Low lying shrubs and cactus give way to pines as you gain in elevation and traverse the many creeks that bisect this trail. This area is best traveled during drier months to avoid swollen water crossings.
