Please keep in mind that any area affected by the wildfire can be prone to hazards such as falling trees, flooding and burned out stump holes.

You are responsible for your own safety Always look up, look down, and look all around.
Below Buffalo Crossing, the Black River and the road part company as the stream begins to drop more steeply toward its confluence with the White River, deep within the Fort Apache and San Carlos Apache Indian Reservations.
The river enters a large canyon here, and the streambed becomes more rocky with fewer pools and longer riffles. Forested slopes close in to narrow the streamside riparian zone and access becomes more limited.
This area is popular with trout anglers trying to find better fishing along more remote stretches of the stream, but it also attracts other forest recreationists as well. The scenery is great and there is a good chance you will see some interesting wildlife, including black bears, which are relatively plentiful here.
