Trail Overview
Smooth Transition is a mellow trail that transitions from the rocky lowlands up onto the plateau and vast expanses of the flats in this area of the Kaibab National Forest. There are some rocky sections along this trail, but most of the obstacles found when mapping were mud ruts and large puddles due to the monsoons happening. It skirts a burn scar from the recent Rabbit Fire. There are no major obstacles along this route, but no cell service either, so offline maps are recommended.
